Some service is requesting your machine identify itself and the user
requstign the service The responses you see mean in.identd is started
with the -l (log responses) -e (anonymous) and -o (do not reveal
operating system) options in identd.conf. Unless you have a need for
another machine to get your username -- such as a user@machine entry in
hosts.allow -- these are the safest settings
