Well, for one, when I started out on OpenBSD 3.0, there wasn't a -H flag.... http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=identd&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+3.0&arch=i386&format=html I'm not in the habit of re-checking the man pages for every command with every new release (nor am I subscribed to the CVS commit list), so I didn't know this feature had been added. Meanwhile, nullidentd does precisely what I want it to do, so there's very little reason for me to switch. New users who are just starting out, though, may prefer to use the in-tree identd. -- Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody."
