The httpd server has the ablity to do "ident" checking via rfc 931.
However when we tried to use this feature it appears that AFS is using
the TCP port 113 (decimal) to do something similar. I think that AFS
has a "ident" server running - but it doesn't appear to be "compatible".
Has anyone got this to work? Does anyone have more info... this is
not my area of knowledge... I just want it to work.
Thanks, David
