I upgrade my kernel from 1.5.2 -release branch from right before Oct4 to
the latest release version. After doing so identd no longer works right. I
get this:

For some reason identd is getting the wrong uid for the process (it would
appear). Then it is (gracefully) failing to look that uid up to get a
name.

The number identd thinks is the uid changes everytime the process with the
connection gets restarted. This makes me wonder if it is PID related or
something.

Any ideas? I think there is a bug someplace. I used the same custom kernel
conf as before. I found no new options in the new generic conf.

I'll build a new GENERIC tonight and see if that helps.

Thanks,
