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.
