Well, identd, although i don't know if nfs really use identd, but it is
true it is quite a task to have a proper identd for MiNT as we are missing
the structure for tcp (in /dev/tcp or /proc/net/tcp, don't remember).
If anyone has an idea about implementing this, would be nice, I think
mario saw how to do it, but he is VERY busy right now :) many projects
(juicy ones ;), Bernd, any chance, or ideas about ident? or authd or
whatever. 
How do you know who owns a socket? and if an update is to be made to
MiNTnet, could it be as cross compatible as possible?

It is not that vital I think/thought, After all we've been using MiNTnet
for years now without any real problem.
