knows a better way of handling inetd installation other than calling
update-inetd from postinst, let me know.
-As with most programs run out of inetd, it's probably best to run sidentd
-under TCP wrappers. The standard installation rules don't attempt to do
-this, but you can do this yourself by editing inetd.conf and replacing the:
-
- /usr/sbin/sidentd sidentd
-
-invocation with:
-
- /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/sidentd
-
-You of course must have the tcpd package installed.
+The default inetd.conf entry runs sidentd under TCP wrappers. Using TCP
+wrappers and restricting access to sidentd to only those domains where you
+will be using S/Ident authentication is highly recommended.
If you are already running another ident daemon, you will generally need
to deactivate it in order to run this one. This package doesn't conflict
idea, but probably isn't really needed, and maintaining a list is too much
ongoing effort.
