Maybe this is the same problem that I have:

Jun 26 23:10:02 silakka inetd[85]: /usr/libexec/identd: exit signal 0xa
Jun 26 23:10:33 silakka last message repeated 20 times
Jun 26 23:12:01 silakka last message repeated 57 times
Jun 26 23:12:02 silakka inetd[85]: ident/tcp server failing (looping), service terminated

I am also interested in a solution. ;-)
