The linux-identd is a Linux-based user identification daemon.
Linux-identd is a powerful user identification daemon exclusively designed for Linux operating systems. It implements the Identification Protocol (RFC1413) which serves the purpose of identifying active TCP connections. With this daemon, you can listen to TCP port 113 (auth) and it can be run in standalone mode or through inetd(8). Additionally, the program is available under the GNU General Public License.
The installation of this program is relatively simple. With the following commands, you can easily install and compile the program into your Linux system:
$ make
$ make install
Once installed, the program can be easily started in daemon mode by using the following command:
$ /usr/sbin/identd -d
Alternatively, if you'd like to start identd through inetd, you can add the following line to /etc/inetd.conf:
auth stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/in.identd in.identd
In this new release of the Linux-identd daemon, you can expect new enhancements and features that are designed to meet your needs. Some of the latest updates include the option of -l to log connections and the resolution of a sizeof() bug. Additionally, the man page has been updated, and there have been minor Makefile cleanups.
Overall, the Linux-identd daemon is a reliable tool that is highly recommended for users who want to implement Identification Protocol (RFC1413) in Linux operating systems.
