gidentd sometimes returns NO-USER for real connections

[Mattias Wadenstein]

Binary package hint: gidentd

Discovered while using postgresql with identd auth, now and then gidentd would respond with NO-USER instead of the actual user. Symptom:

2008-09-11 13:23:27 CEST LOG: invalidly formatted response from Ident
server: "37187, 5432 : ERROR : NO-USER
        "
2008-09-11 13:23:27 CEST FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user
"srmdcache"

In the posgresql log. Note that this only happens occasionally, most connections would get the correct ident information.

Switching to pidentd is a workaround for the problem that we have put into place.

Version tested: Version: 0.4.5-7.1 (hardy current).
