Thanks to help from Chris Dillon, I’ve found some places where Identd can be improved when used with an NT network. There are some new features that should make administration a little easier.

You might find that calling the undocumented /GOSERVICE command from a UNC path can cause big problems. It seems that Windows doesn’t load the entire program into memory, so when you log out and back on again, it tries to somehow reload the other parts of the executable and craps out. I’ve added a new, documented, /INSTALL switch which should fix all this. Look forward to v1.4 in a few days.

The bug can be reproduced with the following sequence of actions:

\\HOSTNAME\SHARE\IDENTD /GOSERVICE
(logout, login)
