NAME¶
nullidentd - a bare minimum identd server
SYNOPSIS¶
nullidentd [uid]
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
nullidentd command. This manual
page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original
program does not have a manual page.
Nullidentd is intended to be a bare minimum identd server, suitable for a
firewall or IP Masq/NAT gateway.
OPTIONS¶
nullidentd takes only one optional argument, the username to answer with.
If this is omitted,
nullidentd will reply with the username
“foobar”. If the username is RANDOM, a random string is generated.
USAGE¶
nullidentd is typically invoked from inetd. The following is a typical
inetd.conf example:
auth stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/nullidentd nullidentd
