You do of course need to send inetd a `/bin/kill -HUP` signal to have it
re-read inetd.conf.  Or restart inetd.  I vaguely remember having problems
with identd a few months ago so it it possible you just have a bad copy.
Pidentd is an identd server that should work with NetBSD.  I think it has
a program that will test an identd server too.
