/proc/net/tcp, uid and euid

[Christoffer Hall-Frederiksen]

I ran into a little problem with ident the other day. Identd
on my box returned wrong answers when lookup rlogin-connections. 
The connections were all made by root. If you use telnet the
problem doesn't exist. The problem is that pidentd (and oidentd) 
looks up the uid of the tcp-connections in /proc/net/tcp. But 
the uid listed there is not the uid, but the euid. This makes 
the rlogin connections appear as if they came from root because 
rlogin is suid-root. Is there a reason why /proc/net/tcp lists 
the euid and not the uid?
