oidentd v1.6.1 by Odin <odin@ojnk.nu>

Oidentd is an ident (rfc1413) daemon for Linux.  Oidentd supports most
features of pidentd as well as a number of features absent in pidentd.
Most notably, oidentd allows users, given the proper permission, to
specify the identd response that the server will output when a successful
lookup is completed.  Oidentd also allows for pseudo-random strings (either
a prefix, such as "user," followed by a number between 0 and 99999,
or 10 pseudo-random characters of the set 0-9A-Za-z) to be returned upon
the completion of a successful lookup instead of a username or a UID. 

Oidentd now supports IP masqueraded connections. For information on how to
setup support for IP masqueraded connections, see the "INSTALL" file.

For a more complete list of features, consult the manual page or run
oidentd -h.

NOTE: Some requests may be interpreted as having failed (by the client
side and with ident in general, not just with this particular daemon) when
"OTHER" is returned instead of the name of the operating system on which
identd is running. (the -o option)

I have tested oidentd with both libc5 (x86) and glibc (x86 and alpha) on
Linux 2.0.x and 2.2.x, on FreeBSD 3.0 (x86) and on OpenBSD 2.2 and 2.4
(both x86). 

NOTE: GNU make is required to compile this package. On some BSD systems, it
may be installed as "gmake."

The most recent version of oidentd will always be available at
http://www.ojnk.nu/~odin. (http://199.4.146.19/~odin if the dns is slow)
