Standard behavior of tcpserver.  man tcpserver will tell you how to turn it
off, if it bothers you.  But, there are some good reasons not to, because
any ident response gets recorded in the headers, and there are certain
fringe situations where source of abuse can only be determined with the
help of ident data.
