I just have it log as deamon.

that is (in C):

	openlog("fingerd", LOG_PID|LOG_CONS, LOG_DAEMON);

yes, just have it make a call to ident_lookup (from the libident)
assuming the remote user is runing identd you will have there name

the changes I have made to my fingertd at home are:

    - always make a identd query if compiled with -DIDENTD
    - optional argument "-s", denied access if remote host is not runing i=
dentd
    - always log to syslog
    - if user has biff set I will send a "biff" message to there tty
	if the finger was aimed at them.


If you want I can send you my copy of fingerd and you can fold in my chang=
es
to yours.

PS: on my back burner I am modifing inetd to do connection logging and IDE=
NTD
    tracing.
