To build the "in.identd" daemon, do the following steps:

1. Type "make" and see if your machine is among one of those
   listed. If so, goto step 5.

2. Copy the entry for "other" in the top-level Makefile into a
   new one and edit it for your system.

3. If your machine/OS has the "KVM" routines (you can find out by
   typing "man kvm_open"), then add "-lkvm" (or whatever it's called
   on your system) to your newly created entry.

4. Edit the file "paths.h" to contain valid definitions for
   your system. 

5. Type "make <systype>", where <systype> is one from the list
   displayed when you type "make" without arguments. Then watch it
   build nicely (hopefully).

6. As "root", type "make install". This will copy the executable
   daemon "in.identd" into the destination directory as specified in
   the Makefile (normally /usr/local/sbin) and the man page into the
   specified man directory (normally /usr/local/man/man8).

   Please make sure that it is executable for the user you specify below
   in step 8! Otherwise it will fail for obvious reasons.

7. Edit /etc/services to contain a line "ident 113/tcp auth tap". If your
   system is running SunOS, or some other system with NIS (or YP) then cd 
   to your YP directory and type "make". (On SunOS 4.*: "cd /var/yp; make").

8. Edit the file /etc/inetd.conf to contain a line (replace "sys" with
   a user with enough rights to READ the kernel memory. Under SunOS 4.*,
   user "sys" is a member of the "kmem" group and is a good choice. If
   you have no "kmem" or "sys" user, then I suggest you create one and
   assign read rights for the group "kmem" to the /vmunix and /dev/kmem
   and /dev/mem "files" - you might also have to modify the group id of
   other programs that read the kernel, like "netstat", "ps" and more):

     ident     stream  tcp  nowait  sys   /usr/etc/in.identd in.identd

   If you're running A/UX 2.0*, inetd reads from /etc/servers. This contains
   an archaic(?) form of the above:

	ident	tcp	/usr/etc/in.identd

9. Restart the "inetd" daemon. (Can normally be done with a "SIGHUP" signal).

10. Test the daemon by TELNET:ing to "130.236.254.1" port 114 and verify 
    that the information displayed is correct. (It should give your user 
    name, "UNIX" as operating system and no character set). The program on
    port 114 will connect to your newly installed daemon and try to retrieve
    the identity of you.

    Another way to test the daemon is by TELNET:ing to "localhost" port
    113 and then escape to the command level temporarily (normally you can
    do this by keying "Ctrl-] z". Then type "netstat -n | egrep 113" and 
    remember the other port number that you will see. Now return to your
    TELNET session and enter "4711 , 113", where you replace 4711 with the
    number you got from "netstat". If things work out ok you should see a
    response like:

       4711 , 113 : USERID : UNIX : foobar

    Where "foobar" should be your user name. If it doesn't work then
    please send me a bug report at <pen@lysator.liu.se>.

11. Else all is done and your server should be ready for real world usage.
