ident2 - An advanced ident daemon
ident2 is an advanced ident daemon, which can run as an inetd
service or on it's own. It has various features such as user defined and
random replies, extensive logging, and full administrative control.
The program follows the usual GNU syntax command-line unless it is
unsupported on your system. GNU options begin with two dashes(`-') and have
much more descriptive names.

- -i,
--use-user-ident
- Allow user defined ident replies. Just do a echo 'ident ar' >
~/.ident to change your ident reply.

--user-reply-file
- File ident2 should look for in user's homedir for replies. Default is
~/.ident

disabled by default.

if it finds it's uid to be 0. This option disables this behavior
altogether.
- -r,

outgoing IP masqueraded connections.
