You can discriminate between different parties that connect via the same IP.
Please explain how to do this without %{u} ?
I thought SPF was supposed to be platform-agnostic but your comment here seems
to be informed by a very PC-centric single-user-model view.
Also NAT is becoming increasingly common as the migration towards IPv6 recedes
into the 25th century...
Besides UNIX how many platforms support ident?
You can run an identd on anything you want, the protocol is an internet
standard. A lot of IRC networks require you to run identd.
There are Windows versions here:
http://identd.dyndns.org/identd/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/identd/
Just because UNIX is the most commonly used mutli-user system and hence the
most common identd user is no reason to say it is UNIX-specific.
Is ident likely to make it through a firewall? This is the type of service I
would turn off both incomming and outgoing.
It depends on how you configure the firewall, which in turn depends on what
you want. Like whether or not you wish to support ident.
Given the issues that finger exposed most network security admins are going
to turn off the ident daemon if it is there.
You'd be surprised at how common it is outside windows-land, particularly for
true mutli-user hosts.
