Or earlier versions, it doesn't matter, I think.....

: ident  stream  tcp     wait    root    /usr/local/etc/in.identd in.identd

If you run it `wait', you need some options. -w, I think. However,
it still won't work; the accept call fails for reasons I haven't
figured out.

In the above, change the wait to nowait and it should work; it
does for me.
