Download the fakeidentd source code. Open a Terminal and cd into the fakeident source code directory. Then type the following:
% cc identd.c % mv a.out fakeidentd % sudo chown root:wheel fakeidentd % sudo mv fakeidentd /usr/bin/fakeidentdNext you need to use your favorite command line text editor to edit the file /etc -> xinetd.d -> auth to look like this:
service auth
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/bin/fakeidentd
groups = yes
flags = REUSE IPv6
}
Save the file and restart xinetd using sudo killall -HUP xinetd. With a bit of luck, you now should have a working identd server which returns the name "nobody." FakeIdentd allows you to define a name to return, but I don't know how to do it from this context.
