	Dis-
>Environment:
	Any that uses identd's -L flag
>Description:
	When identd is used with -L, the response type string in its
	responses is USER-ID, which is not an acceptable response type
	per RFC 1413.  (I suppose this could be looked on as a feature,
	a warning that the response is a blatant lie, but it _is_
	nonconformant.)
>How-To-Repeat:
	Use identd with -L.  Have software that actually verifies the
	responses query it - or query it by hand and inspect the
	response.
>Fix:
	Relative to parse.c,v 1.12:

	--- parse.c.old	Thu Mar 27 17:18:55 2003

	-      printf("%d , %d : USER-ID : OTHER :%s\r\n",
	+      printf("%d , %d : USERID : OTHER :%s\r\n",
	            lport, fport, lie_string);
	       continue;
