- The "sendmail-5.65c+IDA-1.4.4.1-ident.patch" file contains the modifications
- needed to add support of RFC931/IDENT/TAP (from now on called IDENT) in
- Sendmail. It uses the IDENT protocol to retrieve the identifier associated
- with a TCP/IP connection if someone initates a connection to the SMTP port.
- (And the machine the connection was initated from has a server running that
- implements this protocol. One such server can be FTP'd from the machine
- "ftp.lysator.liu.se" in the directory "pub/ident" as "pidentd-???.tar.Z".
-
- It will put the identifier retrieved into the "$F" macro so that it can
- be included at an apropriate place in the "sendmail.cf" configuration file.
- For example, we are using the following entry for the "HReceived" line:
-
- HReceived: $?sfrom $s $.by $j $?r with $r$.
- ($v/$Z/Lysator-3.1) id $i; $b $?F
- (rfc931-sender: $F@$S)$.
-
- This will add a comment line to the "Received:" line if it can retreive
- an identifier.
-
- The identifier will also be included in the "syslog" log file. An example
- of how it might look like is:
-
- Jul 29 08:17:43 lysator sendmail[10169]: AA10169: from=<owner-operlist@eff.org>, size=1239, class=0, received from daemon@eff.org (192.88.144.3)
-
- This patch should work on plain Sendmail-5.65c with some small hand editing
- (the line numbers might now match exactly).
