Quote Of The Day

Computer games don't affect kids. If Pac Man affected us as kids, we would all be running around in darkened rooms, munching pills, and listening to repetitive music.

Octomonkey Ident Daemon

Posted by sffubs on Friday 13th May, 2005 at 13:12:06 BST

A simple Python identd with the following features:

Looks up usernames and maps them to idents from a config file

Can return a static ident if the user is not listed in the config file

Can act as a reverse ident proxy, forwarding requests on to machines that are being NAT'd

Can respond to invalid ident requests (e.g. if the request is for a host behind a NAT router)

Drops root privileges immediately after starting

The full distribution is here, but for Gentoo people there is also an ebuild.
