private.  An Identification server provides service which is a rough
   analog of the CallerID services provided by some phone companies and
   many of the same privacy considerations and arguments that apply to
   the CallerID service apply to Identification.  If you wouldn't run a
   "finger" server due to privacy considerations you may not want to run
   this protocol.
