This is your masq box's identd, complaining that someone is asking it
about a connection that it doesn't know anything about.
One of your masq'd clients connected to a POP server. That POP server
wants to know who is talking to it, so it asks using ident protocol.
However, your identd only knows about locally-created socket
connections; it doesn't know about masq'd connections (masq puts all its
connections in the port range 61000-65096). So it replies that it has
no idea, and logs it because it shouldn't happen.
I believe there are other identd's that know how to recognize a masq'd
connection, and will forward the ident request to the machine that
originated the connection. But I don't know what they are, offhand.
