Hi Brian,
I let your comment above go at the time that you said it and I waited
for Kevin Day to substantiate similar claims. Kevin very kindly took
the time to submit a PR which has helped me demonstrate to him that
the problems which he was seeing that led him to declare pidentd buggy
were in fact caused by a bug (bugs?) in the version of inetd that he's
running.
So while I take to heart Mike Smith's comments ("I'm ... worried about
... where the seniority of a code entity is considered more significant
than its functionality") I do think that this exercise serves no purpose
as long as pidentd is doing its job properly.
For detail on the inetd bugs causing apparent pidentd instability, I
invite you to examine PR 12596. If you feel there are other problems
with pidentd, I invite you to take Kevin's lead and file a PR.
Ciao,
Sheldon.
