Thanks for the responses from

Alfredo Sola.

I rebuilt the identd and the problem was gone now.

Many thanks.

The response from casper@holland.Sun.COM:

>This is a message printed by identd; it typically happens when Identd
>can't get a connection quickly enough and the connection dies.
 
>Check to see whether identd really works and perhaps
>upgarde to a later version and run "itest".
