Have you tried the -l (and maybe the -d) option of the identd?
BTW: Never ever use the tcp_wrapper for the identd (you'll get a nice
tcpd->identd->tcpd->... loop).
You could also check (and count) the "connect" messages from the
tcp_wrapper in /var/log/daemon.log.
Another possibility would be to start inetd with the -d option.

If squid receives a request from a local user and squid wants to check
the identity it will call the local ident/auth service (which will be
called by inetd).
