NAME
idlookup — identify the user of a particular TCP connection
SYNOPSIS
idlookup
host-or-ip-number local-port foreign-port
DESCRIPTION
idlookup
can be used to identify the user at the remote end of a TCP
connection, assuming the host at the other end is running an
Identification Server.
host-or-ip-number
is the name of the host at the other
end of the connection, or its IP address.
local-port
and
foreign-port
are the port numbers, or service names of the ports at
the two ends of the connection.
WARNING
Note that the references to
local-port
and
foreign-port
follow the terminology in RFC931,
and are from the point of view of the
server
rather than the user.
