10.3: Enable identd server for internet relay chat use
Authored by: Bac's on Nov 14, '03 10:14:27AM

Well, it is not "doesn't need" but actually "can't" since the version of fakeident.c that has been posted doesn't include socket specific calls so that it can be compatible with xinetd.

This version is just a good old standalone daemon.

10.3: Enable identd server for internet relay chat use
Authored by: kerbaugh on Nov 18, '03 05:35:50AM

I don't know about "must" but fakeident does indeed run perfectly from xinetd and if you want to pass an argument fakeident, so as to specify the username returned, you have but to add the line,

server_args = Bogus

to the suggested /etc/xinetd.d/auth file. In this case however, group information is not returned. I'm sure there's a way to do that but I haven't time to figure that out.
