Of course it is the ident service (that's what the error message of inetd said). But the ident service is not a service that is used alone. You have an application/service which is called as often as the ident service. You should have a look at this application. Your problem could also be an entry in hosts.allow or hosts.deny. If you use a username ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) there the tcp_wrapper will do an ident/auth lookup for that service (or for all services if the ALL keyword has been used). Using "nowait.120" is of course a solution but it is probably better to find the application that is causing the problem.
