You have two options for getting rid of the error message. You can
comment out the line in /etc/inetd.conf:
auth stream tcp wait root /usr/sbin/in.identd in.identd -e
(Put a # at the start of the line.) and then restart inetd. Or you can
run "/etc/rc.d/init.d/identd stop" and then "chkconf identd off".
The problem is that 6.2 has a stand alone idnet daemon, and older versions
ran identd from inetd. You are trying to run two versions of identd, and
this doesn't work because they are both trying to use the same port.
