# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| pidentd: pidentd (TCP/IP IDENT protocol server) pidentd: pidentd: The identd daemon implements the IDENT protocol as specified in pidentd: RFC1413. When your machine connects to a remote system, the remote pidentd: machine may connect to your identd daemon to find out either the pidentd: user name or other information about the process that initiated pidentd: the connection. Some remote machines may choose not to allow your pidentd: connections if you do not provide access to an identd daemon. pidentd: pidentd: The pidentd daemon was written by Peter Eriksson. pidentd:
