;;; 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)))))

;;;###autoload
(defun erc-identd-start (&optional port)
  "Start an identd server listening to port 8113.
Port 113 (auth) will need to be redirected to port 8113 on your

when you need one, without having to install one globally on your
