This program is (yet another) ident daemon. The uniqueness of this implementation is that it allows users to specify thier own ident response without requiring the sysadmin to restart the daemon or recompile it. Instead of using the user's home directories (which, under normal circumstances cannot be read by the daemon), it uses a shared directory to store the user's files. The daemon should be safe to run as root as it suspends its privilages until they are needed, and drops them forever at the earliest possibility, but its security has not been extensively tested. See README.security for more information. The config file is not necessary, nor are any user files. The file 'src/defaults.h' contains the compiled in defaults and (unmodified) should be compliant with RFC 1413. See cidentd.conf, src/defaults.h, README-user_file.sample, and README-rfc1413, for more information. The file 'src/defaults.h' is checked early in the 'make' process to avoid compiling in an erroneuos default.
