The ident server we currently use is pidentd 3.0.16 from : http://www.lysator.liu.se/ or ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/ident/servers
I am looking to see if Solaris has an ident server but have not found it.

Has anyone tested our Ident support under IPv6 on *any* OS?
Right offhand I don't see anything in the RFC 1413 protocol that would break in moving from IPv4 to IPv6, but that doesn't mean there isn't anything. One issue that catches my eye is that RFC 1413 assumes that "port number" is a unique identifier of a connection within a particular host; that assumption might be shaky in a system that's got multiple IP addresses. (In particular I wonder whether IPv4 and IPv6 will share a common port number address space on a system handling both ...)
The tcp connection is two ip/port combinations. The ident connection should use the same ip address as the other end connected too, and says which port numbers, so you know the combination.
I haven't tried it ident using postgresql, but I did for other things and I know it works there.
