README file for Pidentd version 3.0

Copyright (c) 1997 Peter Eriksson <pen@lysator.liu.se>



This is a more or less complete rewrite compared to version 2.

Features:

	Autoconfiguration via "configure".

	Multithreaded for speed.

	Doesn't have to run as root (after it has opened
 	the kernel devices).

	Has a configuration file in /etc (pidentd.conf).

	Sanity checks for compiled version vs operating
	system it is being run on.

	Can be started from /etc/inittab

	Automatically tries to detect how it was started
	removing the need to specify it on the command line.

See the file "INSTALL" for installation instructions.
