I put these two lines into inetd.conf:
ident   stream  tcp     wait    kmem:kmem       /usr/local/sbin/identd
identd  -w      -t120

and restarted inetd, but got this:
Feb 19 00:56:47 hostile inetd[89105]: ident/tcp: No such user 'kmem', service
ignored
Feb 19 00:56:47 hostile inetd[89105]: /etc/inetd.conf: syntax error


did I put those lines in the wrong place?
