This is Erik E. Fair's implementation of identd:
A proper identification protocol (RFC 1413) implementation,
providing all the utility, security, and authentication of
all other implementations of this protocol, without all the
expensive and pointless grovelling in /dev/kmem.
Careful design and software engineering makes this software
efficient, fast, compact, scalable, and completely maintenance
free.
Anyone who feels the need to use a daemon more complex than
this one should go read section 6 of RFC 1413 very carefully,
and think again.

Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
