It's never been mandatory for SMTP. Some IRC servers do require it, though. Personally, I prefer not to reveal the usernames behind the client connections I'm making, so I use nullidentd. It's very simplistic; it just returns a constant string for all ident requests. (It doesn't appear to be in ports; I simply grabbed the source code from packages.debian.org/nullidentd and built it myself.) -- Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody."
