meillo@0 21 This is the second stab at a small library to interface to the Ident
meillo@0 22 protocol server. Maybe this will work correctly on some machines.. :-)
meillo@0 23
meillo@0 24 The ident-tester.c file is a small daemon (to be started from Inetd)
meillo@0 25 that does an ident lookup on you if you telnet into it. Can be used
meillo@0 26 to verify that your Ident server is working correctly.
meillo@0 27
meillo@0 28 I'm currently running this "ident-tester" on port 114 at lysator.liu.se
meillo@0 29 (130.236.254.1) if you wish to test your server.

meillo@0 34 This library now contains some higher-level routines, as well as a
meillo@0 35 similar test program to test these (lookup-tester).
