WIDENTD(1) General Commands Manual WIDENTD(1) WIDENTD widentd -- answers on the auth(113) port according to rfc 1413 with a fixed reply. SYNOPSIS [-v] [-u -userid] [-o -system-name] [-s -service] [-i -address] DESCRIPTION The deamon listens on either the specified address or on all interface ad- dresses on that always replies with default reply. Use the -i flag to spec- ify a diffrent address to bind to; and use the -s flag to sepcify another port. All errors are sent to syslog unless the -v flag is set. In which case, the deamon will not fork, and will print verbosely on stdout. Errors go to stderr. The username returned can be set with the -u flag; although rfc 1413 allows for a wide range of characters, and charsets, this applications is re- stricted to just the normal A-Z, a-z, '.', '-' and '@' range; as some bro- ken IRC servers barf on anything more complex. The default is 'beastie', in honour of the BSD Daemon https://www.freebsd.org/art/ Likewise th -o flag sets the operating system; the default is OTHER. Possi- ble values are UNIX, or one of the SYSTEM NAMES as registered with IANA (See rfc1340 or one it's successors).

Fixes appreciated. Pp ACKNOWLEDGMENTS An identd server was needed needed an identd server. Dirk-Willem van Gulik wrote one. FreeBSD ports 15.quarterly February, 2024 WIDENTD(1)
