It also has problems with starting stuff as user "sys" from Inetd. (It doesn't correctly set the group id to "sys") so I suggest you either starts it as user "root" and use the "-u" and "-g" flags to setuid and setgid itself to user "sys", group "sys", or do a 'chgrp sys in.identd' and then a 'chmod g+s in.identd' and start it as user "sys" from Inetd. 2) These systems also doesn't support running streams based services from Inetd with the "wait" option. 3) See notes in the READMEs/README. specific files. - Peter Eriksson , 14 Oct 1994
