Can anyone in a nutshell explain how to enable "identd" on Fbsd 4.5-RELEASE?

*** Connecting to port 6667 of server irc.lightning.net
*** Looking up your hostname...
*** Checking Ident
*** Found your hostname
*** irc Nickname is already in use.
*** You have specified an illegal nickname
*** Please enter your nickname

	[I type in mrmeatie for the heckuvit]

*** Banned: Install Identd for access (2001/4/18 09.20)

Yes I realize I shouldn't irc (breathe, sleep, or fart) as root, but hey.
