identd daemon

identd is a simple protocol typically used to identify the user name of a process running something, such as a IRC client. [login to view URL] We need a special identd daemon that - binds to all IP addresses in the server - When a connection is established on IP A.B.C.D, it looks up a file such /etc/identd_users/A.B.C.D and returns its contents as ID. - If the files does not exist or contains anything other than exactly one line, return "unknown" as ID. The deliverable wil be - The daemon source code, which can be written in python, C, or any other resonable language for which a compiler can be expected to be found in a not very old linux system. - A start/stop/script, Debian style - Build script if needed - Install script - A README will basic information about the program (how to do each) Additional notes - All executables must have some basic help - Program must be stable: Don't count on files existing, permissions being correct, etc. Check stuff. A daemon shouldn't crash.
