Just re-read the identd source and I agree. Using -U and ~/.ident would work locally, but not for users behind a router doing NAT. A single static response to ident requests is all that's needed and while oident can do this for a NAT network, it's overkill. Maybe I'm one of the few who feel this because of having archaic P-200's and the likes as routers. I'll try to hack the stock ident server to do this and submit a patch.
