If it's important enough, you can archive the output of "grep identd
/var/log/messages", or equivalent.  (I'd probably also hack it to syslog
with a different facility, so you could more easily direct it to a
different log file.)

In my case, I was using a hand-compiled copy of pidentd, installed
somewhere under /usr/local.  I had forgotten that I didn't use NetBSD's
identd, but I now remember that the reason was absence of encrypted
cookie support.
