This is nonsense. As Magnus said, localhost is the one case where
identd *can* be trusted. There is no reason that we should discriminate
against that case.
It also does not seem to me like a good plan to insist that identd be
running at the same instant initdb runs; it's not hard to think of
installation scenarios where that won't be true.
