libident is likely to be Peter Eriksson's library of routines
for querying RF1413 servers.  Get it from:

ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/ident/libs

as libident-0.21.tar.gz.

The absence of notes I made when compiling this indicates you should
have no problem in just typing "make bsd" to build the library.
