IMHO IDENT is pretty much a dead protocol. Kind of dumb to trust the connecting system to give you an honest answer about the owner of an application. I rarely see TCP/113 anymore but in the rare cases where I do, rejecting with a TCP reset keeps the original connection from getting stalled. I know this does not really answer your question, just trying to ssave you some work in an effort that's not really needed. HTH, Chris
