NAME
identd - TCP/IP IDENT protocol server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lbin/identd
[
charset] [
] [
-c
-n
DESCRIPTION
identd
is a server which implements the TCP/IP proposed standard IDENT user identification protocol as
specified in the RFC 1413 document.
identd
operates by looking up specific TCP/IP connections and returning the user name of the process
owning the connection.
Options
The
identd
protocol server recognizes the following options:
address
Specify the local address to bind the socket to if using the
-a
be specified by the IP address and not by the domain name. The default value in IPv4 is
INADDR_ANY
addresses.
Run in standalone mode without assistance from
-b
mode and not supported by HP. A bug or any other fatal condition in the server will make
the server terminate, and it will then have to be restarted manually.
-c
charset
Add the optional (according to the IDENT protocol) character set designator to the reply
generated. charset should be a valid character set as described in the MIME RFC in upper-
case characters.
Enable some debugging code that normally should NOT be enabled since it breaks the pro-
-d
tocol and may reveal information that should not be available to outsiders.
-e
Always return

-l
-m
Use a mode of operation that allows multiple requests to be processed per session. Each
request is specified one per line and the responses will be returned one per line. The con-
nection will not be closed until the connecting part closes its end of the line. Please note
that this mode violates the protocol specification as it currently stands.
-n
Always return user numbers instead of user names in order to keep the user names a
secret.
-N
Check for a file
return the user name for. If that file exists then the daemon will give the error

Used to specify the timeout limit. This is the number of seconds a server started with the

tarted by

wait forever, or until a fatal condition occurs in the server.
