identd daemon
Posted by HD Fanatic, 07-15-2007, 03:48 PM What's the most popular identd daemon for Linux? I need to install one on my server. Thanks.
Posted by Jakiao, 07-15-2007, 06:42 PM Why not just use the one that comes with most linux installs (xinetd)? It does what you need it to, and it's already there.
Posted by HD Fanatic, 07-15-2007, 07:03 PM How do you use it? I googled but it doesn't say how to make identd work.. Last edited by HD Fanatic; 07-15-2007 at 07:13 PM.
Posted by Jakiao, 07-15-2007, 07:27 PM Check out the man pages for xinetd. Otherwise, you could always install Webmin and use their xinetd GUI to manage it.
