Try running identd from the rc script or command line first to see if you can
get it working that way. That way, it runs as a daemon and is independent
from being called by inetd. inetd is called the "superserver", so that when a
service is requested, it actually starts that service in accordance with the
last bit of the line (/usr/sbin*) that you have here. If it works as a
daemon, check out /etc/hosts.allow to see if the irc server has access to use
services from your machine. Most likely, that's the problem.
