ident           stream  tcp     wait    nobody.kmem /usr/libexec/identd
identd -w -t60 -l -e -N

Taking off one of the options identd comes preconfigured with will fix the
problem you're experiencing :) Make sure my switches match the switches in
your inetd.conf file...

I was experiencing the same problem, but deleting one switch fixed it all
up...
