Yes thats the ident protocol, but what puzzles me is that when I do a
TCP connection from java, apparently it doesnt register (or whatever
telnet does to enable ident response) with the ident service. If there a
property I need to set or something ?
Shouldn't be. The ident daemon should take care of it all. Are you making
the java and telnet connections from the same machine? Is it possible
there isn't an ident daemon running on the machine where the java program
is running?
To be completely explicit, what I'm doing in my program is to make a
connection using the apache commons FTPSClient, and I need the ftp
server to get an ident response because otherwise it will refuse my
connection.
This is slightly shocking, given that ident offers about as much security
as crypt.
