== 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.
