full-featured identd on Windows XP?
Ziggy SpaceRat
Does anyone in here know if there is any full-features identd for
Windows XP available?
What I mean with "full-featured" is, that it doesn't simply send the
same pre-configured reply to any ident-request, but the proper
username or a configurable alias.
The point is this: I got X-Chat installed on my Windows XP machine.
Two icons point to it:
a.) run as current user
b.) run as different user (Basically the same as "su <user>" on *ix)
X-Chat's built-in identd misbehaves, as the first started X-Chat
replies to ALL ident-requests, even for the X-Chat that runs under
different login informations.
I tried a lot of identd servers for Windows, of which all basically
divide into these two groups:
a.) Sends one standard-reply to any ident-request
Which is what I already have with the built-in identd of X-Chat.
b.) Attempts to send the Windows login-name instead of a pre-defined
username.
This is somewhat better, but it's not what I need anyways.
Those identds still have two problems:
1. Usually, Windows login-names are longer than typical Unix-usernames,
e.g. i got "Ziggy SpaceRat" on Windows and "quattro" on Linux.
As identd is a service typical for *ix machines, I want to be able to
define an alias for every Windows login-name that is then sent as
identd response.
e.g.:
identd getting request for a connection that was established by "Ziggy
SpaceRat" -> reply with "quattro".
identd getting request for a connection that was established by "My
Girlfriend" -> reply with "mandyyy".
2. The existing Windows identds fail on determining the right username
to send. They always send the identd response for the user that is
currently logged in to the desktop, instead of that for the user which
actually created the connection.
e.g.:
When I'm logged in on my Windows desktop as "Ziggy SpaceRat" and start
X-Chat a second time using my girlfriend's account, the identd still
replies with MY username instead of hers. They obviously don't know
who initiated the connection that's asking for ident.
Does anyone in here know a Windows-identd which doesn't have these
limitations?
Or maybe someone in here sees this as a task he might want to do :-)
