Suggestion: PPP access devices intercept identD requests and return the authenticated access string. Reasoning: Modern ``stacks'' used by end-users -- especially those on throwaway accounts, fake any identD response. This makes tracking those people tougher. Methods: 1: identD v2, new port, intercepted by access devices which support it. 2: modification to hosts requirement RFCs, making access devices responsible for intercepting identD requests to their PPP clients. 3: a security RFC ``suggesting'' 1 or 2 Thoughts appreciated, as are comments, flames, blames, and anything of some content.
