10.3: Enable identd server for internet relay chat use
Authored by: cilly on Jul 27, '04 02:33:49PM

It is better to compile the latest fakeidentd yourself.

To do this get the source at http://iki.fi/too/sw/releases/identd.c

Type in terminal

$ mkdir ~/Desktop/fakeidentd
$ cd ~/Desktop/fakeidentd
$ wget http://iki.fi/too/sw/releases/identd.c
(I am using wget since curl does not follow httpd redirects by default, the actual link to the file at the moment is: http://www.guru-group.fi/~too/sw/releases/identd.c)
$ sh identd.c
(This will create the file identd - the identd daemon)
$ sudo cp identd /usr/local/bin/fakeidentd
(I am using /usr/local/bin as path since it is more common. Make sure you set the equivalent path in: /etc/xinetd.d/auth)

Proceed with the above article and leave IPv6 enabled, otherwise fakeidentd will not start at all!
