Ident D

ident-d implements the UNIX Indentification Protocol ( rfc1413 ) under MacOS. The purpose of the Identification Protocol is to identify the user of a particular TCP-IP connection to an Internet server. This is frequently employed by servers that permit anonymous logins ( ie: IRC, WWW, FTP ). An Ident client will ask "who is using a particular connection." Since MacOS is single user, ident-d simply returns the "Owner Name" of the Macintosh as found in the File Sharing control panel. Space and control characters in the owner name will be replaced by underscores ( '_' ) to keep the clients happy. Version 1.0.1 is tuned to use less CPU time, fix "lock-up" bug ident-d is freeware. Requires PowerPC, Open Transport Native, Faceless Background application. rusty@spiderisland.com http://www.spiderisland.com/~rusty/
