What linux distro are you using? It most likely has an inetd variant
running...

identd is a service that is started by inetd. They both have conf files.
You may be running an xinetd system, which would have an xinetd.conf
file somewhere in the /etc directory. Run 'find /etc -name '*inetd.conf'
and consult man pages for help with them.
