identd starting on your host is not an issue. If the ftp server is
demanding identd information from the Windows clients that they cannot
produce, that could cause trouble. I've never seen that with wu-ftpd but I
don't run it anymore.
I just checked the man page ('man ftpd') and glanced at the docs installed
in '/usr/doc/wu-ftpd-...' (this is a 6.2 system, rh7 moves this to
'/usr/share/doc/...'). It doesn't mention anything about doing a reverse
DNS lookup or how to stop it. So let's assume I made that up. The '-I'
option will dissuade ftpd from trying to exact the identification of client
users. Try that.
But maybe this is a long shot.
