Fortunately, pidentd is going to be replaced by authd in Fedora Core 3.
I downloaded the authd SRPM from FC3 test 1, built and installed in on
FC2, and life is good.

I did have to edit /etc/xinetd.d/auth to turn off encrypted responses
(as I had to do with pidentd). Do you know if it's possible to get
PostgreSQL working with encrypted ident responses?

Thanks!
