When starting identd from the net-misc/linux-identd package, the following warning is issued (note, "sandra" is the computer name): sandra ~ # /etc/init.d/identd start * Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ] * Starting identd ... * WARNING: -a/--startas is deprecated and will be removed in the future, please use -x/--exec or -n/--name instead [ ok ] sandra ~ # This may be just an old package that needs to another -r patch in order to bring it up to current ways of running daemons.
There are many other ident daemons in the tree... maybe we could treeclean this taking into account that is not updated since 2003
