;;; Commentary:

;; You can have a local identd server (running on port 8113; I use DNAT
;; to bind 113->8113) if you add this to .emacs.el:

;;    (add-hook 'erc-connect-pre-hook 'erc-identd-start)
;;    (add-hook 'erc-disconnected-hook 'erc-identd-stop)

;;; Code:

(defvar erc-identd-process nil)

(defun erc-identd-filter (proc string)
  "This filter implements RFC1413 (identd authentication protocol)."
  (let ((erc-identd-process proc))
    (when (string-match "\\([0-9]+\\)\\s-*,\\s-*\\([0-9]+\\)" string)
      (let ((port-on-server (match-string 1 string))
	    (port-on-client (match-string 2 string)))
	(send-string erc-identd-process
		     (format "%s, %s : USERID : %s : %s\n"
			     port-on-server port-on-client
			     system-type (user-login-name)))
	(process-send-eof erc-identd-process)))))

  "Start an identd server listening to port 8113.
Port 113 (auth) will need to be redirected to port 8113 on your
