This was broken (last time I checked) if the ident query was spread
over two packets. Unfortunately common programs like tcpd do split
the request over two packtes, so it's not such a good idea to use
it.
See http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=16086 - the patch
I've included there, based on Hajimu UMEMOTO patch, seems to work
OK, but it might be a good idea to deactivate the itimer once you've
finished reading.
Maybe someone should take the PR from des, who is no longer inetd's
maintainer and give it to green who wrote the inetd's ident code?
