Is there a reason why you do not use the identd from FreeBSD itself?

It is part of inetd and can be enabled in /etc/inetd.conf. I have
changed the default options from:

#auth stream [...] auth -r -f -n -o UNKNOWN -t 30

to:

auth stream [...] auth -r -t 30

Documentation about the options is in the manpage of inetd (search
for "auth").

Hope this helps.

bye
Fabian
