Either....eggdrop, iroffer, IRCII or BitchX. The IRC servers are querying
the clients for ident, and it seems either your ident is not
installed/running. If you installed it, then try a kill -HUP inetd to kick
start it,
Also.. to the person who saw the "-- MARK --" in their logs, I noticed this
too when a user started running iroffer on my host. iroffer is like an xdcc
bot, pretty harmless, and not a security risk AFIAK,
