Hi Steve
Get pident-2.8a1.tar.gz from ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/ident/servers and =
run a make netbsd.
Install it and it simply works perfect

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.
