Ok. Here is a patch that does this. I still think there should be a warning when trust is set, but I'm clearly not convincing enough about this. Might still be worth adding "--ident" as a parameter anyway, but in that case only to help the distros that need it. Or not, because they already have a way to deal with it. //Magnus
