Thanks for getting back to me on this. :)

Today I went to produce some logs, and the stock identd refused to crash
when I signed on to dalnet.  Perhaps someone was messing with me, but I
would rather it was just a fluke.

However, here is a new log that doesn't make any sense to me.  If you could
enlighten me, I'd be delighted.

Thanks,

Ben
