Log Message:
Add a -L (lie brazenly) flag, to demonstrate the perils of proof by
assertion^W^W^W^W^W^W^Wprovide admins with a means of providing a
standard host-wide identd response.  From the man page:

The -L<user name> option instructs identd to lie  brazenly
about  the  identity  of the user in question.  You didn't
really intend to trust my assertion about who I  was  any-
way, right?
This  flag  provides  a way for a site to support services
requiring the ident protocol while  providing  a  standard
answer to all ident queries. All queries to identd will
respond with a host type of  `OTHER'  and  a  username  of
<user name>.
