Hi

Few days ago I've problem with running identd in jail on 4.10-stable
I've found that getcred() sysctl isn't permitted from within jail on 4.x.
R.Watson suggest some "cheap hack" for this but I've solved this 
without patching the kernel. 

My patched ident gets result of getcred() sysctl from jauthd daemon via 
unix socket. Jauthd is simply getcred proxy, it gets two sockadddr_in 
from jailed process and sends ucred. 

Jauthd daemon can be extend  to verify data recived from jailed process, 
and of course to listen in many jails . 

I know that this isn't far better then "cheap hack" :)) but for sure it don't 
give getcred sysctl for everyone in the system, and in all jails.

applay this patch to /usr/src/usr.sbin/inetd/builtins.c and add AUTHJAIL to 
Makefile
