Yeah, what you need is my "Liar's identd." You can get the current version from ftp://ftp.bsdconspiracy.net/pub/softweyr/liedentd.tgz I have a couple of improvements from a beta tester to roll in, then I plan to commit it as a port. It responds with the same answer for every request; a future version will allow you to provide a list of responses to make. The default reponse is "Fools trust ident" -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
