IDENT(8) InterNetNews Documentation IDENT(8) NAME ident - nnrpd ident resolver SYNOPSIS ident [-p port] [-t] DESCRIPTION This program attempts to resolve usernames for nnrpd by using the ident protocol to query the remote host. It contacts the remote host using ei- ther IPv4 or IPv6 depending on which protocol was used for the incoming NNTP connection. OPTIONS -p port If this option is given, attempt to contact identd on the specified re- mote port (which can be a numeric or symbolic specification). Non-nu- meric values will be looked up using getservbyname(3). The default value is the result of "getservbyname("ident")" if available, or port 113 otherwise. -t If this option is given, the identity returned will never have a domain part. That is, if the remote server returns a result containing an "@" character, ident truncates the response at the "@". This is useful to allow the default-domain parameter in readers.conf to override the do- main supplied by the remote host (particularly if the supplied domain part is an unqualified local machine name rather than a full domain name). EXAMPLE The following readers.conf(5) fragment tells nnrpd to trust ident informa- tion for hosts on a local network, but to replace the domain returned from the ident query: auth LAN { hosts: "192.168/16" res: "ident -t" default-domain: "internal.example.com" } access LAN { users: "*@internal.example.com" newsgroups: example.* } Access is granted to the example.* groups for all users on the local net- work whose machines respond to ident queries.
