Why not use the ident server built into inetd(8)? No extra ports
required.
=46rom the default inetd.conf:
# Provide internally a real "ident" service which provides ~/.fakeid su=
pport,
# provides ~/.noident support, reports UNKNOWN as the operating system =

# and times out after 30 seconds.

auth stream tcp6 nowait root internal auth -r -f -n -o=
UNKNOWN -t 30
