If you don't know what identd is, you'd be a fool to run it. If you don't like obnoxious messages showing up in your log, turn off logging of failed connection attempts. (I just did, by default. It should *never* have been enabled by default and if you do enable it, you need to understand that someone can topple your box in a matter of seconds.) Poul needs to rate-limit the messages, and even then, the default should be compatible with existing behavior. Remember folks, the idea is principle of least astonishment.
