Public bug reported:
At least in Ubuntu 22.04, possibly earlier, oidentd is started by
systemd acting as an inetd. This no longer works in 22.04 because of
options set in the `.service` file and fed to oidentd at startup.
This looks to be a mix of the systemd `Standard[In|Out]put=..` settings
and startup options for oidentd. Oidentd (in the default `-I` mode)
expects to have the client on stdin/stdout. Systemd foils that by
redirecting StandardOutput to journal or syslog.
I changed my `/lib/systemd/system/oidentd@.service` to have:
StandardInput=socket
StandardOutput=socket
And i have removed the `-S` option to oidentd from the `ExecStart` line.
It now works fine for me. Logs end up in syslog and most important,
ident works again.
