  I've just get pidentd-2.2beta3.  It said it has supported netbsd.  After 
my test, it DO support and works.  However, I found there is a problem.
As we know, there are some programs which are setuid ones.  The process
table record its effective uid rather than real uid.  Therefore, it will
return root if I use rlogin rather telnet.  Is there any way to solve it?
