DESCRIPTION

14       in.identtestd is a small daemon (to be started from inetd) that does an
15       ident lookup on you if you telnet into it. Can be used to  verify  that
16       your Ident server is working correctly.
17
18       The  source code can be found in the libident source tarball, as ident-
19       tester.c.

EXAMPLE

23       A typical entry in /etc/inetd.conf would be:
24
25       9999 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.identtestd in.identtestd
26
27       With the above entry in place  and  active,  execute  "telnet  hostname
28       9999"  from either this system, or another system. It should show some‐
29       thing like:
30
31           Trying hostname...
32           Connected to hostname.
33           Escape character is '^]'.
