See the Testers-list discussion and 16431, 23171, and 23172 ----------- Add a file /etc/sysconfig/identd and variable, OPTIONS=" -d " also useful: -C (file) and so on -- see man identd and source in in the initscipts, adding it to the start branch.
Wrong component, identd has little to nothing to do with inetd, aside from looking similar. ;) Changing.
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release
As with 16431, 23171, and 23172, Please, please remind users in the print docos and perhaps with commented out examples in the config file, to place their values within double-quotes as a defensive matter. ( OPTIONS=" -d " rather than OPTIONS=-d )
Dunno why this is a MUST FIX while the other daemons aren't. Either we do all the daemons, or none of them, doing pidentd only seems dumb. Adding dependency on klogd and deferring.
Re-open for consideration of proposed RFE in RH 7.2
I added that January 18th - it's included in pidentd-3.0.12-4, and a couple of earlier ones.
