A more accurate statement is that it's trustworthy to the extent that
you trust the owner of the other machine to be running a non-broken
identd daemon. Within a LAN it might be perfectly reasonable to use.
you would have to extend that trust to any machine connected to any
network which can be routed to the server in question as he was
specifying a wildcard IP, and that includes anything that anyone could
plug into any network port.
no thanks.
