Can you confirmed that pidentd is installed by default in debian armel?
Why? Is not ident protocol anachronic? (see wikipedia entry)

pidentd is installed on all debian installs by default,
since the "priority" section of pident is set to "standard".
It has already been reported as bug on:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=492060



Okay. Thanks Riku.
I saw this bug and, personally, I think that provisionally it's enough to comment the line where it appears in /etc/inetd.conf. By this way, it will be installed but not enabled by default.

Thanks a lot,
Xan.
