NAME
       in.identtestd  -  a  small daemon that can be used to test
       Ident servers


SYNOPSIS
       in.identtestd


DESCRIPTION
       in.identtestd is a small daemon (to be started from inetd)
       that  does  an  ident lookup on you if you telnet into it.
       Can be used to verify that your Ident  server  is  working
       correctly.

       The source code can be found in the debian libident source
       package, as ident-tester.c.


EXAMPLE
       A typical entry in /etc/inetd.conf would be:

       9999 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.identtestd in.identtestd

       With the above entry in place and active, execute  "telnet
       hostname  99999"  from either this system, or another sys-
       tem. It should show something like:

           Trying hostname...
           Connected to hostname.
           Escape character is '^]'.
