-This is a program that implements the RFC1413 identification server. It
-was very much inspired by Dan Bernstein's original 'authd' (but unlike
-that program doesn't use 'netstat' to get some of the information) It
-uses the kernel information directly. (And is due to that fact a lot
-faster). Dan has now written another version of the 'authd' daemon that
-uses his 'kstuff' to read the kernel information. Unlike that daemon,
-this will use only normally available kernel access functions (and is due
-to that more limited in the different machines it support). Please note
-that this daemon used to be called pauthd but has changed name to better
-reflect what it does (and to conform to the new RFC).
