Libident C library ------------------- This is a library which provides a simple interface to the Ident protocol on the client side. It is meant to be used by daemons to try to authenticate users using the Ident protocol. For this to work, users need to have an Ident server running on the system from which they are connected. See also: COPYING for copyright issues, AUTHORS for authoring informations, NEWS for changes between releases, INSTALL for general compilation and installation instructions. The official FTP site and location for libident was: ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/ident/libs However, it seems to be unmaintained and I couldn't reach Peter Eriksson, the original author, so far. Newer versions of the library may be found at: http://rdenisc.free.fr/libident/ The ident-tester.c file is a small daemon (to be started from Inetd) that does an ident lookup on you if you telnet into it. Can be used to verify that your Ident server is working correctly. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont <rdenis@simphalempin.com>, 19 Jan 2004 based on original work by Peter Eriksson <pen@lysator.liu.se>, 1 Aug 1992.
