I haven't heard of any exploits against identd. I suppose it is possible
that someone is using a spoof of your ID for DoS against someone, and
that other party being hit is trying to auth the source. You might want
to turn on ipchains logging of port 113 to see if the hits are all from
one machine (or just a few).
