I read the archive and it appeared to die. In fact, I received one answer when I asked the question (again) recently. :-) But the best answer that I've received is to use socks and run socks as "whatever user" should be appearing via identd. Or if you're feeling inventive (and aren't really interested in something as thorough as pidentd [IMO]), you might check out Linux's midentd and play with that for a bit. > it really is beyond my comprehension how identd is in such widespread > use anyhow, it's like nobody even bothers noticing that it is one of > the most often and easily faked protocols out there, and that very > issue is addressed in the original rfc itself... idiots everywhere.
