the pidentd rpm distributed w/ rh62/alpha doesn't work, that is, it replies always w/ an UNKNOWN-ERROR identd reply... this is due to a sizeof(long)!=sizeof(int) portability bug only showing up on alpha arch... (as always ;) I've fixed that in the rpm's at (together w/ a minor build problem when openssl is installed too) http://www.hvrlab.dhs.org/pub/alphalinux/ plz feel free to contact me for further information
