Script kiddies, don't you just love them. At least when they're doing
this, they're not spray painting "MUFC ROOLZ" everywhere...

Port 113 is the ident port and nothing to worry about. Inetd is a
completely different animal, a process that handles all incoming
requests and passes them to the appropriate program, such as ident.
Giving programs cryptic names isn't enough for the Unix bods. They have
to make the names as similar as possible too, to maximise confusion :)
