No, no. It's the reverse problem. It's not that I'm feeding requests for IDENT. I don�t even have identd installed, much less a line in the /etc/inetd.conf file. What's happening is that when users connect to my server to POP, the SERVER sends an IDENT request to the client machine (which usually doesn't run identd anyway). I just want it to stop doing that, and I'm not sure how.
