Hey all, just thought I'd share the solution...

After massive amounts of digging in the mail archives I found out the
answer was in freebsd-ports :)

Apparently my recent (2 days ago) buildworld caused the problems with
identd when changes to inetd became incorporated.  To quote an email from
Chris Piazza back on Sept 4, 1999:

<begin quote>
That's right.  Brian Feldman backported some changes from -current
that simplify getting user credentials from a socket.  This is one
side effect.

Branch: RELENG_3 
The new pidentd now runs as root.

<end quote>

Changed the line in /etc/inetd.conf to:
auth    stream  tcp     wait    root /usr/local/sbin/identd identd -w -t120

And all is happy again.

Thanks to everyone who helped!!!
