| 13 | Description: Yet Another Ident Daemon: with NAT traversal and policy controls | |
| 14 | The world doesn't need or want another ident server. But it did want one | |
| 15 | with the right combination of features, so here it is. | |
| 16 | . | |
| 17 | YAID handles NAT usefully. On a NAT gateway, it will forward requests to | |
| 18 | client hosts as necessary. On a client host, it will respond to forwarded | |
| 19 | requests. | |
| 20 | . | |
| 21 | YAID has policy controls. A global file can decide how to reply to | |
| 22 | particular kinds of query based on source and destination addresses and port | |
| 23 | numbers, or on the user identified. It can delegate the decision to the | |
| 24 | user in question, in a controlled way. It can anonymize the response in | |
| 25 | various ways, keeping track of the real answer in its log. |
