Hmmm.  I saw a way to use telnet to test it and it did the right 
thing for me, whenever that was.  (That was pidentd on Solaris, come 
to think of it.  The NetBSD version is, or was, based on pidentd 
though.)  There are options that might make a difference.  I assume 
you have RTFM'ed.

Don't know offhand, but I can say that the NetBSD web site includes 
all the source expanded somewhere and you could go poking there for 
information if you can't find it in the tar files.

Usually if there is an installation problem with something like this 
there is more affected than just one obscure daemon.
