Bisqwit'sidentd is a daemon for the intenet Identification Protocol described by RFC 1413.  It supports
       recursive IP masquerade, where a machine has Internet access through a masquerading machine which  itself
       has  Internet  access through another masquerading machine, and so on.  The program requires no setup (no
       config files required).  It is designed to be run from the Internet superserver (inetd).

       bidentd requires no command-line arguments, but some are supported though.  Explained below.

/proc/net/tcp
              This file is required by bidentd operation

       /proc/net/ip_masquerade
              If masquerade support is desired, this file is needed.

       /proc/net/ip_conntrack
              This file will be used for masquerading connection tracking if the kernel is from 2.4-series.

       The following options control the amount of information that is dumped to the system log. Options may  be
       specified separately or in group: -qq equals -q -q.

       -qq    Output nothing to the log.

       -q     Output only fatal errors to the log.

       (no option)
              If  no  option  is  specified, the log includes one line for every reponse sent in addition to any
              fatal errors.

       -v     Be a little more verbose than when no option is specified.

       -vv    Output everything that -v outputs and additional debug information.

       -vvv   Output a lot of debug information in addition to everything that -v outputs.
