There are several shareware implementations out there that fake ident.
I haven't found any satisfying though. Moust or all of them seem to run
from startup instead of as a service and they all seem to read the username
from an .ini file.
I don't think i is possible to implement a _real_ ident daemon on any M$-Win
variants, simply because M$-Win* (exept Citrix) are single user systems so the info
about
who owns a given connection is not awailable - at least not to any API we know.
Any way, we are implementing our own _free_ identd for M$-Win* that
(at least on NT) will run as a _service_ and dynamicly checks with the registry to
see who is currently loged in. It is currently only a alfa version.
Feel free to give it a try. I would be hapy to receive patches/contributions
if someone wants to hack the code. The URLs are:

It is stable on NT (at least NT40sp3), but you'll have a glimpse of
Dr.Watson when you shutdorn or restart NT because some problem
with blocking/nonblocking I/O and the M$ service API.

Hi all,
Not a squid question as such, but related.
Does anyone know if there is an IDENT daemon which will return the name of the
logged in user on a Windows machine? We have a network where I want to limit
access to some web sites, but allow certain users access to all sites. I could
do this on a machine by machine basis, but that means that if that person uses
a different machine, they will not have access to all sites.
I'm assuming of course that I can then add acl rules based upon what that
IDENT returns!
Any help would be appreciated.
Andy
