+didentd is a modular RfC1423 (identd) server for FreeBSD and Linux written
+with security in mind. The Server normally runs chrooted under /proc/net on
+an unprivileged id.
+
+Normally didentd does not send an username but an encrypted audit token to
+the client. This token contains all information about the requested
+connection: userid owning the connection, source ip:port, destination ip:port,
+a timestamp.
+
+If a remote admin has a complaint about something from your machine he can
+send this audit token back to you, you can pipe it through didentd-decrypt
+and find out which user did the connection. didentd-decrypt outputs all the
+information from the audit token. So you can have the benefit of ident
+without revealing internal information from your system.
+
+There is also didentd-name which is a server returning the username of the
+uid owning the requested connection. This is the classic ident approach.
+
+didentd-static is a server which delivers a fixed reply defined by the
+administrator to every request.
