Yet another identd server... provided both as a hopefully useful
widget in itself and in the hopes that its source code will be useful
to others writing tcp/ip applications for OS/2.
This is a small identd (RFC 1413) server; it returns the USER
environment variable in response to any well-formed identd request.
It has three options:
-v n, n=0,1,2: how verbose it should be. 0 will produce no output;
1 will print requests and responses on stderr, and 2 will
also add a little debugging information. (Default: 1)
-t n, where n is how many seconds to wait between a connection and
the completion of the transaction. (Default: 30)
-p n, where n is the port to listen to. (Default: 113)
The program and code come with no warranty; it stands so absolutely
bereft of quality assessment that if assurances were sunbeams the
executable would be shivering in a cold, dark cave. However, you have
the source code, and you can do whatever you want with it...
It's also free; the only cost is an extremely mild request that I'd
like to know if either the program or the code is useful (or buggy)
but I've certainly ignored my share of similar requests in the past and
I'll understand if you ignore this one, too... :)
