Hi, mdidentd is an identd, which allows users to register a reply for a specific tcp connection (combination of local and remote port). The mdidentd-1.04a-gentoo.patch adds the following: - Changes the reply type from OTHER to UNIX - Allows to supply user names on command-line for -u, not only numeric uids - Only members of the primary gid of the uid specified in /etc/conf.d/mdidentd are allowed to register idents. ebuild installs user mdidentd and group mdidentd for this mdident is primarily used for ezbounce. The ebuild for ezbounce will be submitted after this and ezbounce depends on mdidentd. Suggested category net-misc/mdidentd Sven

hmm ... i kept meaning to add this to portage
i added 1.04a with your patch to cvs ... i added another patch (which writes a /var/run/mdidentd.pid file) so that we dont have to use the stupid start-stop-daemon wrapper
