fauxident.py - Naive ident server

'fauxident' acts as an extremely naive ident server, answering all ident requests with a consistent response (either ERROR or USERID). This is useful on systems where running a true identd is unavailable, where it would be would be a security risk, or when masquerading firewalls are in use, where multiple machines are involved behind the firewall and running a proper ident system is not an option.
