How about an IPv6 version? If I get some time I will look at adding this.

I've created a patch against version 1.7 of fake identd which adds a makefile and fixes some potential problems.

[»] Exactly what I needed
by Louie - Sep 19th 2002 05:34:05

This identd server was the easiest thing to install! I was up and running in literally under a minute. I actually compiled it on OpenBSD and it works great. Now I have it set at the ident server for my entire network, so everyone can use IRC. If you're looking for a ident server to simply return a value, this is the one to get. The quickest and simplest you can get!

[»] Makefile and init script
by Chris - Oct 22nd 2000 21:10:50

I made a little Makefile and init script for fakeident, so it's nearly auto-installing. You can find the stuff at http://hangout.de/fakeidentd/
