Install or enable net::ident
I'm running 3.1.7 under Gentoo. It seems like I might want to install
or enable Net::Ident, but I can't find anything about it in the
configuration files, though it shows up in debugging output as
"dbg: diag: module not installed: Net::Ident ('require' failed)"
Then I installed Net-Ident and the debugging output changes to:
"dbg: diag: module installed: Net::Ident, version 1.20"
What else do I need to do? I don't seem to be able to find a clue on my
own.

what it displayed before this line so we know what require this module
core spamassassin seems not have the needs here, have you installed 3dr party
plugins ?

Yes.

The idea is that a remote machine can ask who (user) is connecting to it.
In this case, spamd can verify that the user calling it is the user that
spamc says it is. Googling for "identd" brings up a bunch of results,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ident has some good info.

No. It has nothing to do with the rules.

Thank you for the reply. I certainly agree that Net::Ident is mentioned
in the man for spamd. But, it doesn't help me enough. It did raise
these questions:
Is the spamd option --auth-ident the only thing Net::Ident is used for?
What is identd (I haven't found one on my system)?
Will Net::Ident, properly implemented help spamassassin (spamd) identify
spam email?
I'm not usually helpless. I usually help others. Sigh!

You have entered a bunch of incorrect information into that bug, and
claimed that I said the exact opposite of what I actually said.
Net::Ident has *never* been required, it is an optional module in 3.1, as it
has been for years, which people may want to use with spamd. Please see the
INSTALL document which very clearly states it's *optional*.
Thanks.

It's only used in spamd, so "man spamd" for more information.
