Installation instructions for Secure identd v0.3
------------------------------------------------

Requirements and limitations:
-----------------------------
To get sidentd running you need perl5 (get it at http://www.perl.org/)
sidentd requires inetd to run.
Currently sidentd only runs only on systems with a linux like
/proc/net/tcp.

(Suggested way of) Installation:
--------------------------------
Create a user called e.g. identd and a group identd which should be
that users main group. 

Then edit the file sidentd with a texteditor
and change paths or default options like you want them.
The file is documented, and nonbinary... so don't worry.

After that create the specified directory, default is /var/identd
and give owner and groupownership to identd.
After that make the directory setgid identd to make
files created in it by default group identd.

Then create files with the uids(e.g. 500,501,...) of users you want
to allow to fake ther username in /var/identd. chown them to their users 
but let the group set to identd. Best permission for the files is 640.

When done with that you can optionally create /var/identd/badident
and put a \n(return key) seperated list of usernames that can't
be faked into /var/identd/badident.

after that copy sidentd to for example /usr/sbin
and add an entry to /etc/inetd.conf, for example:

auth   stream  tcp     nowait    identd    /usr/sbin/sidentd

then do a killall -1 inetd and everything should work fine.

that's it...
