There are also a fair amount of machines that do run identd, but return things like "Warm-Fuzzy" all the time. I have a small perl version that I wrote to do this. It is allowed by the standard as a security hased function of the username. It just so happens that my hash function is return "Warn-Fuzzy" for all inputs :-). Warner P.S. Launch this from inetd. A more complete version can be found at one of the perl sites. #!/usr/local/bin/perl ($a, $b) = split(/[,\n\r ]+/,<>); print "$a , $b : OTHER : Warm-Fuzzy\r\n"; -- Warner Losh "VMS Forever" home: imp@village.org Cyberspace Development, Inc work: imp@marketplace.com Makers of TIA, The Internet Adapter. http://marketplace.com/
