Remote hosts are using the ident daemon to find out who is connecting to
them. From the logs, your machine is returning 'NO-USER' to each of the
requests. Not particularly helpful to remote administrators, but it
does cut down on the useful information that you provide to would-be
crackers.
They're harmless messages.
