    Most of the time a client wanting to use the ident protocol expects to
    find ident listening to port 113, which on many platforms (such as
    UNIX) requires special privileges (such as root).

    Under Linux you can use iptables to forward requests from port 113 to
    an unprivileged port. I was able to use this incantation to forward
    port 113 to port 8113:

     # iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 113 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8113
     # iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 --dport 113 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8113

    The first rule is sufficient for external clients, the second rule was
    required for clients connecting via the loopback interface (localhost).
