Send postings to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
----------------------------------

Actually the [EMAIL PROTECTED] is what you might see in an 
email header, when AUTH/IDENT is queried.

The mini IDENT server simply responses with "hidden-user".

See RFC1413 http://andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu/rfc/rfc1413.html

Test it like this:
1. Telnet to an IP address on your external NIC using port 113

Example: telnet 199.120.225.4 113

2. When connected type:

1025,1

3. You should see a response:

1025,1:USERID:UNIX:hidden-user
