Here are some tips&tricks for IBM users:
X
XFrom Chris Moller (mol...@vnet.ibm.com, mol...@futserv.austin.ibm.com):
X
"Under IBM weirdness, after you modify /etc/services or /etc/inetd.conf,
you have to update the ODM by running, from root, the following:
X
X inetimp
X chrctcp -S -c inetd -f debug='no' -f file='/etc/inetd.conf'
X
or the changes don't take effect. Other than that, everything worked
fine out of the box."

X
X
XFrom James Carlson <car...@xylogics.com>:
X
One minor note, this program suffers from the same problem that a lot
of other kernel-reading programs do on AIX. Gcc doesn't align the
contents of the user structure correctly. Users have to add a "long
foo" element right before U_irss in a private copy of sys/user.h in
order to make it work.

Known bugs: It returns the <uid> of the process owning the

X it returns "root" instead of the actual user
X when the user runs a setuid-root program like rsh..

I have had this question a couple of times, so I wondered if you could
add the following comment just before the #include <sys/vnode.h> state-
ment in src/kernel/irix5.c... (we are talking pident2.5.1 here ;-):
X
/** Well... here some problems begin: when upgrading IRIX to 5.3 the **/
/** `inst' program shows one of its peculiar bugs: the file vnode.h **/
/** has changed location in between versions and now the file is up- **/
/** grade first (new package) and then deleted (old package). So if **/
/** you have problems finding this file: reinstall eoe1.sw.unix. **/

X MANROOT=/usr/man

X This has only been tested on black (ie NeXT) hardware,

X Processors.

X
Install comments: Generally install into /usr/etc

Build comments: A link is needed to allow compilation (due to code in
X the sys/file.h include file). This can be put in
X place by executing:
X ln -s /usr/include/sys h
X in the current directory (ie top directory of pidentd).
X Gcc works OK - probably rather better than system cc.
X
Install comments: Generally install into /usr/etc
X Start from inetd (/etc/servers) (or as daemon if you
X prefer) Since this is an *old* BSD system, several of
X the inetd options are missing. You can only start it
X as a one shot daemon from inetd (edit /etc/servers),
X and you can specify no parameters.
X Remember there are limits on the number of lines in
X /etc/servers
X
Usage comments: Since inetd calls identd with a parameter made up of
X the calling IP and port address (identd does not use
X this parameter), identd drops one argument if there
X are no options set! To get round this (ie from the
X command line) specify at least one option.

Please note that the Solaris 2 port of Pidentd is very dependant
on the version of Solaris. So when you upgrade to a new version of Solaris
you most probably also must upgrade the Pidentd server. You can always
find the latest version of Pidentd on ftp.lysator.liu.se in pub/ident/servers.
X
Some common problems that may occur when compiling under Solaris 2:
X
X * You use /usr/ucb/cc - NEVER ever EVER use that compiler
X
X * You use GCC, but didn't run "fixincludes" correctly when
X installing it
X
X * You use GCC and have just upgraded from Solaris 2.3 to 2.4
X (for example) and have forgotten to RERUN the "fixincludes".
X This just *MUST* do or things will fail in mysterious ways.
X
You may have to enable the "SOLARIS24_WORKAROUND" feature in the
file "src/kernel/sunos5.c" if you have problems getting "-b" and/or "-w"
to work correctly under Solaris 2.4. Please tell me if you do and it helps
you (send an email to p...@lysator.liu.se).
X
Casper Dik <cas...@fwi.uva.nl> says:
X
X I found a bug in Solaris 2.x inetd which may affect identd
X installations: if you change a tcp service from "nowait" to "wait" mode,
X inetd will still pass the connected socket (as happens in nowait
X mode) instead of the socket to do accept() on. The workaround
X is to first comment out the service and -HUP inetd, then reinstall
X the service as wait service and resend -HUP. Inetd apparently needs
X to forget all about this service. The symptom is accept returing
X errno 22.

X Identification Protocol
X
Status of this Memo
X
X This RFC specifies an IAB standards track protocol for the Internet
X community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
X Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol
X Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
X Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
X
1. INTRODUCTION
X
X The Identification Protocol (a.k.a., "ident", a.k.a., "the Ident
X Protocol") provides a means to determine the identity of a user of a
X particular TCP connection. Given a TCP port number pair, it returns
X a character string which identifies the owner of that connection on
X the server's system.
X
X The Identification Protocol was formerly called the Authentication
X Server Protocol. It has been renamed to better reflect its function.
X This document is a product of the TCP Client Identity Protocol
X Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
X
2. OVERVIEW
X
X This is a connection based application on TCP. A server listens for
X TCP connections on TCP port 113 (decimal). Once a connection is
X established, the server reads a line of data which specifies the
X connection of interest. If it exists, the system dependent user
X identifier of the connection of interest is sent as the reply. The
X server may then either shut the connection down or it may continue to
X read/respond to multiple queries.
X
X The server should close the connection down after a configurable
X amount of time with no queries - a 60-180 second idle timeout is
X recommended. The client may close the connection down at any time;
X however to allow for network delays the client should wait at least
X 30 seconds (or longer) after a query before abandoning the query and
X closing the connection.

RFC 1413 Identification Protocol February 1993
X
X
3. RESTRICTIONS
X
X Queries are permitted only for fully specified connections. The
X query contains the local/foreign port pair -- the local/foreign
X address pair used to fully specify the connection is taken from the
X local and foreign address of query connection. This means a user on
X address A may only query the server on address B about connections
X between A and B.
X
4. QUERY/RESPONSE FORMAT
X
X The server accepts simple text query requests of the form:
X
X <port-on-server> , <port-on-client>
X
X where <port-on-server> is the TCP port (decimal) on the target (where
X the "ident" server is running) system, and <port-on-client> is the
X TCP port (decimal) on the source (client) system.
X
X N.B - If a client on host A wants to ask a server on host B about a
X connection specified locally (on the client's machine) as 23, 6191
X (an inbound TELNET connection), the client must actually ask about
X 6191, 23 - which is how the connection would be specified on host B.
X
X For example:
X
X 6191, 23
X
X The response is of the form
X
X <port-on-server> , <port-on-client> : <resp-type> : <add-info>
X
X where <port-on-server>,<port-on-client> are the same pair as the
X query, <resp-type> is a keyword identifying the type of response, and
X <add-info> is context dependent.
X
X The information returned is that associated with the fully specified
X TCP connection identified by <server-address>, <client-address>,
X <port-on-server>, <port-on-client>, where <server-address> and
X <client-address> are the local and foreign IP addresses of the
X querying connection -- i.e., the TCP connection to the Identification
X Protocol Server. (<port-on-server> and <port-on-client> are taken
X from the query.)
X
X For example:
X
X 6193, 23 : USERID : UNIX : stjohns
X 6195, 23 : ERROR : NO-USER

5. RESPONSE TYPES
X
A response can be one of two types:
X
USERID
X
X In this case, <add-info> is a string consisting of an
X operating system name (with an optional character set
X identifier), followed by ":", followed by an
X identification string.
X
X The character set (if present) is separated from the
X operating system name by ",". The character set
X identifier is used to indicate the character set of the
X identification string. The character set identifier,
X if omitted, defaults to "US-ASCII" (see below).
X
X Permitted operating system names and character set
X names are specified in RFC 1340, "Assigned Numbers" or
X its successors.
X
X In addition to those operating system and character set
X names specified in "Assigned Numbers" there is one
X special case operating system identifier - "OTHER".
X
X Unless "OTHER" is specified as the operating system
X type, the server is expected to return the "normal"
X user identification of the owner of this connection.
X "Normal" in this context may be taken to mean a string
X of characters which uniquely identifies the connection
X owner such as a user identifier assigned by the system
X administrator and used by such user as a mail
X identifier, or as the "user" part of a user/password
X pair used to gain access to system resources. When an
X operating system is specified (e.g., anything but
X "OTHER"), the user identifier is expected to be in a
X more or less immediately useful form - e.g., something
X that could be used as an argument to "finger" or as a
X mail address.
X
X "OTHER" indicates the identifier is an unformatted
X character string consisting of printable characters in
X the specified character set. "OTHER" should be
X specified if the user identifier does not meet the
X constraints of the previous paragraph. Sending an
X encrypted audit token, or returning other non-userid
X information about a user (such as the real name and
X phone number of a user from a UNIX passwd file) are
X
X
X
St. Johns [Page 3]
X
RFC 1413 Identification Protocol February 1993
X
X
X both examples of when "OTHER" should be used.
X
X Returned user identifiers are expected to be printable
X in the character set indicated.
X
X The identifier is an unformatted octet string - - all
X octets are permissible EXCEPT octal 000 (NUL), 012 (LF)
X and 015 (CR). N.B. - space characters (040) following the
X colon separator ARE part of the identifier string and
X may not be ignored. A response string is still
X terminated normally by a CR/LF. N.B. A string may be
X printable, but is not *necessarily* printable.
X
ERROR
X
X For some reason the port owner could not be determined, <add-info>
X tells why. The following are the permitted values of <add-info> and
X their meanings:
X
X INVALID-PORT
X
X Either the local or foreign port was improperly
X specified. This should be returned if either or
X both of the port ids were out of range (TCP port
X numbers are from 1-65535), negative integers, reals or
X in any fashion not recognized as a non-negative
X integer.
X
X NO-USER
X
X The connection specified by the port pair is not
X currently in use or currently not owned by an
X identifiable entity.
X
X HIDDEN-USER
X
X The server was able to identify the user of this
X port, but the information was not returned at the
X request of the user.
X
X UNKNOWN-ERROR
X
X Can't determine connection owner; reason unknown.
X Any error not covered above should return this
X error code value. Optionally, this code MAY be
X returned in lieu of any other specific error code
X if, for example, the server desires to hide
X information implied by the return of that error
X

X
X
X code, or for any other reason. If a server
X implements such a feature, it MUST be configurable
X and it MUST default to returning the proper error
X message.
X
X Other values may eventually be specified and defined in future
X revisions to this document. If an implementer has a need to specify
X a non-standard error code, that code must begin with "X".
X
X In addition, the server is allowed to drop the query connection
X without responding. Any premature close (i.e., one where the client
X does not receive the EOL, whether graceful or an abort should be
X considered to have the same meaning as "ERROR : UNKNOWN-ERROR".

Notes on Syntax:
X
X 1) To promote interoperability among variant
X implementations, with respect to white space the above
X syntax is understood to embody the "be conservative in
X what you send and be liberal in what you accept"
X philosophy. Clients and servers should not generate
X unnecessary white space (space and tab characters) but
X should accept white space anywhere except within a
X token. In parsing responses, white space may occur
X anywhere, except within a token. Specifically, any
X amount of white space is permitted at the beginning or
X end of a line both for queries and responses. This
X does not apply for responses that contain a user ID
X because everything after the colon after the operating
X system type until the terminating CR/LF is taken as
X part of the user ID. The terminating CR/LF is NOT
X considered part of the user ID.
X
X 2) The above notwithstanding, servers should restrict the
X amount of inter-token white space they send to the
X smallest amount reasonable or useful. Clients should
X feel free to abort a connection if they receive 1000
X characters without receiving an <EOL>.

X 3) The 512 character limit on user IDs and the 64
X character limit on tokens should be understood to mean
X as follows: a) No new token (i.e., OPSYS or ERROR-TYPE)
X token will be defined that has a length greater than 64
X and b) a server SHOULD NOT send more than 512 octets of
X user ID and a client MUST accept at least 512 octets of

X
X
X user ID. Because of this limitation, a server MUST
X return the most significant portion of the user ID in
X the first 512 octets.
X
X 4) The character sets and character set identifiers should
X map directly to those defined in or referenced by RFC 1340,
X "Assigned Numbers" or its successors. Character set
X identifiers only apply to the user identification field
X - all other fields will be defined in and must be sent
X as US-ASCII.
X
X 5) Although <user-id> is defined as an <octet-string>
X above, it must follow the format and character set
X constraints implied by the <opsys-field>; see the
X discussion above.
X
X 6) The character set provides context for the client to
X print or store the returned user identification string.
X If the client does not recognize or implement the
X returned character set, it should handle the returned
X identification string as OCTET, but should in addition
X store or report the character set. An OCTET string
X should be printed, stored or handled in hex notation
X (0-9a-f) in addition to any other representation the
X client implements - this provides a standard
X representation among differing implementations.

6. Security Considerations
X
X The information returned by this protocol is at most as trustworthy
X as the host providing it OR the organization operating the host. For
X example, a PC in an open lab has few if any controls on it to prevent
X a user from having this protocol return any identifier the user
X wants. Likewise, if the host has been compromised the information
X returned may be completely erroneous and misleading.
X
X The Identification Protocol is not intended as an authorization or
X access control protocol. At best, it provides some additional
X auditing information with respect to TCP connections. At worst, it
X can provide misleading, incorrect, or maliciously incorrect
X information.
X
X The use of the information returned by this protocol for other than
X auditing is strongly discouraged. Specifically, using Identification
X Protocol information to make access control decisions - either as the
X primary method (i.e., no other checks) or as an adjunct to other
X methods may result in a weakening of normal host security.

X
X An Identification server may reveal information about users,
X entities, objects or processes which might normally be considered
X private. An Identification server provides service which is a rough
X analog of the CallerID services provided by some phone companies and
X many of the same privacy considerations and arguments that apply to
X the CallerID service apply to Identification. If you wouldn't run a
X "finger" server due to privacy considerations you may not want to run
X this protocol.
