Description:

This program is standalone 'fake' ident daemon. This program does not fork() but is configured to handle up to 20 concurrent connections. Since one connection should not last long, if all 20 connections are in use, the next connection will close the oldest connection data has been read. This way this program is not very vulnerable to so called `denial of service' attack, thus making this ideal "identd" to be used in a firewall, IP masquerading hosts etc. WWW: http://www.guru-group.fi/~too/sw/identd.readme

Convert to UCL & cleanup pkg-message (categories s)

Fix whitespace issues (mixed tab/spaces, alignment) in a few ports.

When there is a do-install target, do not use a post-install target, do
everything at once.  Sometime, rename post-install into a options helper
target.

I did not fix ports that were such a mess that I could not figure out
what they really wanted to do.  I also did not change ports that had
some version of an auto-plist code in post-install, for the same reason.

Include source file in the ports tree; use rc script

- The original distfile URL seems to be quite unreliable. The only
  distfile (a single .c file) is small and hence included in the
  ports tree.
- Use a proper rc startup script.
