Here's a copy of the /etc/inetd.conf > file after messing with it. I don't think it has anything to do with inetd, and I don't think it's anything to worry about. It just means that someone connected to your identd service, and when identd called getpeername() on the socket it was no longer connected, so getpeername() returned an error of ENOTCONN. You'll see this if someone is port scanning you, making connections to ports and then immediately dropping them. Try doing a port scan on yourself and see if that message pops up.
