Is there a reason why you do not use the identd from FreeBSD itself?
Alternativey, use 'liedentd' from ports and it won't give away
information about your users.  It also won't create any additional
processes - I promise.

uh, inetd's own identd can also be configured to not reveal any
information, and doesn't create any additional processes either, so
what's your upside?

Not having to run inetd?  No configuration?  Simple, easy to audit code?
