Synopsis: IdentityCheck reports wrong user name from Identd when apache act as a proxy server State-Changed-From-To: open-feedback State-Changed-By: coar State-Changed-When: Mon Jul 6 04:29:16 PDT 1998 State-Changed-Why: If the client is going through a proxy, the end server only sees the connexion from the proxy host. Thus any RFC1413 identd lookup on the connexion will result in a query being sent to the proxy, not to the originating client. And since the proxy server is started as root, that's what identd on the proxy host is going to return. Why would you expect otherwise? Proxies don't typically forward RFC1413 requests through to the origin client.
