oidentd
Availability and IPv6 support
Description
Oidentd is an ident (rfc1413 compliant) daemon which runs on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD. Oidentd supports most features of pidentd as well as a number of features absent in pidentd. Most notably, oidentd allows users, given the proper permission, to specify the identd response that the server will output when a successful lookup is completed. Oidentd also allows for pseudo-random strings (either a prefix, such as "user," followed by a number between 0 and 99999, or 10 pseudo-random characters of the set 0-9A-Za-z) to be returned upon the completion of a successful lookup instead of a username or a UID. Oidentd supports IP masqueraded connections and supports fowarding ident requests for IP masqeraded connections to the machines from which the connections originate.
