FWIW< disabling TCP extensions didn't help > the connection hangs either...disabling Pred-1 did. Did you recompile libkvm, reinstall it, and then recompile and install the identd? The identd relies on kernel structures; specifically,it relies on being able to access the system open file table and traverse it to identify the socket connected to the remote host, then looks up the credential based on the contents of teh cred, before passing it back to the requesting system. You may also want to make sure it is running as root. If not, it will not be able to get a reserved port.
