In the Internet as people would like it to be, identd runs and returns information about the host computer and the user. >From the man page: 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. The server may be doing a request and it times out. Another possibility may be a reverse DNS lookup that is timing out.
