The minidentd program

minidentd is a small UCSPI server application that answers IDENT requests.

Interface

     minidentd [ -v ] [ -n | -i | -r ] [ -y file ] [ -t timeout ]

minidentd reads a series of IDENT requests on stdin and answers them on stdout. It logs what it's doing on stderr. The environment variables xLOCALIP and xREMOTEIP, where x is the value of the PROTO environment variable, must contain the IDENT server address and the IDENT client address, respectively.

minidentd exits 0 on success, 100 on a usage error and 111 on a system call failure.

minidentd does not contact the network directly. It's meant to run under a superserver like s6-tcpserver. minidentd will work with IPv4 as well as IPv6.
