    You don't wanna block ident. Its trivial. If you block it, ident
    requests to your machine will time out, resulting in a slow
    initialization of connections like irc, to name one.
    If your sure you don't wanna use identd, it's best to just shut the
    service down, instead of blocking it. The ident server thats
    connecting to your server will just see a connection refused and cary
    on.
