This usually means that the network interface is up and running
but that there's no listener on the port. Perhaps (for instance)
your inetd has died.

113 is the "authentication" service. The associated daemon for this
is "identd". Here's the "description" from the identd man page:
DESCRIPTION
Identd is a server which implements the TCP/IP proposed
standard IDENT user identification protocol as specified in
the RFC 1413 document. identd operates by looking up specific
TCP/IP connections and returning the user name of the
process owning the connection. It can optionally return other
information instead of a user name.
