What drugs are you on? :-)

Inetd is the Internet Super-Server, which is used to pass off incoming
connections to appropriate programs.  The message you're seeing is from
inetd, because you start it with the -l (log) option.

The identd utility is a program which can have incoming connections
passed to it by inetd.

There's nothing wrong with the options you're starting identd with --
the problem is that you're starting inetd with the log option, which
causes it to be more verbose than you seem to want.

The -R option is an option to inetd, not identd.

Ciao,
