;;; Commentary:

;; This module allows you to run a local identd server on port 8113.
;; You will need to set up DNAT to bind 113->8113, or use a proxy.

;; To use this module, add identd to `erc-modules' and run
;; `erc-update-modules'.

;; Here is an example /etc/inetd.conf rule that forwards identd
;; traffic to port 8113.  You will need simpleproxy installed for it
;; to work.

;; 113 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/simpleproxy simpleproxy -i -R 127.0.0.1:8113
