You have in.identd running and bound to port 113, and you also have inetd
running, with the following line in /etc/inetd.conf:

auth   stream  tcp     nowait    nobody    /usr/sbin/in.identd in.identd -l -e -o

So, inetd is trying to bind to port 113, and because it's already in use,
it cannot do so.  Solution:  kill in.identd.  You want it running via tcp
wrappers anyway, if you're going to run it at all.  Even better solution:
kill in.identd *and* comment out the auth line in /etc/inetd.conf.
There's no real need to have it running at all.

The word `bind' in this message refers to the system call bind(), not DNS.
