- TAP and IDENT are two alternative protocol specification for a successor
- to RFC931. The TAP protocol is a more "clean" protocol and
- doesn't include as many new "features" as IDENT does, but the basic
- functionality is more or less the same. If you don't use the extra
- features of the IDENT protocol (which has to be explicitly enabled in
- Pidentd), then it should be compatible.
-
- The TAP protocol is defined by a working group managed by Dan Bernstein.
-
- The IDENT protocol is defined by an IETF working group and is defined in
- RFC1413 that you may find at a number of sites, for example at:
-
- ftp.lysator.liu.se:pub/ident/doc/RFC1413
