You need to actually have an identd server located at
/usr/local/sbin/identd otherwise this won't work.

I'm using oidentd from the ports which works nicely.

cd /usr/ports/security/oidentd && make clean install

haven't installed it for a while so read the instructions carefully :)

oidentd runs as a standalone daemon so you don't need to worry about
setting it up via inetd.

FWIW my /etc/oidentd.conf looks like:

default {
	default {
		 deny spoof
		 deny spoof_all
		 deny spoof_privport
		 allow random_numeric
		 allow numeric
		 allow hide
	}
}
