Problems with UsePrivilegeSeparation (was: port fwd as user != root?

Not so. identd is helpful for the onerunning it (and knowing
it's correct) to track down problems connections
(and or their users). It's useless for the remote
end to base their decisions on, as they won't know
whether the replies are faked or not..

But some sites allocate privileged based on it
(in particular,one IRC server will not allow connections
from a socket owned by 'root', which is currently my problem).

That should help me..
