Frequently asked questions

What port does identd use?

identd commonly uses these ports: 113. These are community database references — actual configuration may differ.

How do I check if identd is running?

Run sudo ss -tlpn 'sport = :113' on the server to check for listening processes on these ports. Also use systemctl status <service> to check the service state. Without root you may not see other users' processes. A listening port alone does not prove the software identity — verify with the config file and process name.

What category does identd belong to?

identd belongs to the System category. This page lists the software's port associations and their roles.
