I tripped across a fix that works for me. I too had many instances of
indentd hanging around, so I compared the /etc/inetd.conf file from RH6.0
and RH6.1 as RH6.0 worked fine for me. Here's the difference
RH6.0
auth stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/in.identd
in.identd -v -l -e -o
RH6.1
auth stream tcp wait root /usr/sbin/in.identd in.identd -e -o
trial and error showed I couldn't use the -v -l parameters so my line ends
up like this
auth stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/in.identd in.identd -e -o
and works fine. I can't say if this is correct or not.
