I seem to recall that the default inetd.conf file uses '-o' as an arg to
identd--take out the -o. If you change the inetd.conf file, send a
SIGHUP to inetd to get it to re-read the config file.
("kill -HUP <inetd.pid>")
I think that IRC servers are picky about the return value from identd
for some reason.
