yes most likely it will. depending on what was using ident, if it was
another process, or if it was a hung socket in TIME_WAIT .. as another
poster noted you may have 2 copies of ident trying to run. I reccomend
dpkg -l | grep ident
to see what packages are installed for ident, if there is more then
one, remove one of them(sounds like the case), if theres only one,
either prevent it from starting on boot(it should have an init script)
or comment it out of inetd.conf
