It's saying:

  /usr/local/sbin/identd: No such file or directory

inetd is trying to run it.  Do you want to run identd?  The closest I
can get to that is pidentd in the Ports Collection.

If you don't want to run it, find the following line in
/etc/inetd.conf:

  ident	stream	tcp	wait	root	/usr/local/sbin/identd	identd -w -t120

and change it to:

#  ident	stream	tcp	wait	root	/usr/local/sbin/identd	identd -w -t120

In other words, comment it out.  Then send a SIGHUP to inetd:

# ps aux | grep inetd
root   16150  0.0  0.5   264  460  p5  S+   12:00PM   0:00.02 grep inetd
root     117  0.0  0.1   252   64  ??  Is   26Dec97   0:04.24 inetd
         ^^^
This one

# kill -1 117

That should stop things.
