I generally don't let identd through on my own setups, primarily because
none of the IRC daemons I connect to require identd. Also, there are
perhaps a dozen "secure identd daemons", but I doubt any of them are.

You can disable the in.identd processes by commenting out those lines in
/etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinitd.d/*ident*

Cheers
