IMHO 'auth-spoof' is a pretty generic name that could be used for 'authentication spoofing' as well (e.g. 'SNMP HMAC Authentication Spoofing' [1] or 'RPC Authentication Spoofing' [2]).

So I suggest to name the script 'identd-spoof' instead, which would make it clearer to me that port 113 is tested.
