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. + +WWW: http://c0re.jp/c0de/didentd/ |
