Yep, lose the tcpd wrapper for identd. It's also possible to
get tcpd into a recusive loop when used with identd (because
tcpd does an identd lookup itself on connection) and that isn't
a good thing. Use the -w and -t120 options as well, they seem
to work and can save load when a lot of ident requests come in.
Cheers.
