First make sure identd is set up properly in /etc/inetd.conf and that
the internal "fake" identd is turned off.  If the inetd entry is
correct, remove identd and then recompile it cleanly from the ports

Re-create the keys using null (empty) passphrases and you'll never be
asked to enter a passphrase.
