Bug 31618 – mdidentd-1.04a.ebuild (New Package)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Sven Wegener 2003-10-20 13:49:38 UTC]

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

i added 1.04a with your patch to cvs ...

we dont have to use the stupid start-stop-daemon wrapper
