How Ident Works
The Ident Protocol is designed to work as a server daemon, on a user's computer, where it receives requests to a specified port, generally 113. In a query, a client specifies a pair of ports (a local and a remote port). The server will then send a specially designed response that identifies the username of the user who runs the program that uses the specified pair of ports.
