Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2002-04-05
Severity: normal
IMPORTANT: I reserve the right to choose my successor. Please talk to
me before retitling this bug.
I request an adopter for the bidentd package. I no longer have a NAT
setup where I could test those features, and I've moved on to Linux 2.4
where they don't work anyway. Plus upstream does not seem to care
about downstream maintainers, so I've lost motivation :-(
The package description is:
Bisqwit's identd is an Identification Protocol (RFC 1413) daemon. It
works like an ident daemon is supposed to work. Masquerading is
supported, and works recursively. Works only under Linux, due to the
use of /proc filesystem.
.
A typical case for using Bisqwit's identd:
- Alpha has the internet connection. It has an ip in internet.
- Beta is masqueraded by Alpha.
- Gamma is masqueraded by Beta.
- Somebody in Gamma starts irc, and the irc server (in internet)
gets the username of the user in Gamma, correctly.
All of these computers would be running bidentd (from inetd),
although Gamma could have any ident daemon, as it does not masquerade
further.
