I haven't used inetd in years...identd for port 113 auth is what I was 
looking for. In the past I could use chkconfig or service commands with 
"identd" for port 113 auth, but it seems to be missing this daemon now. 
Spelling is close to inetd but not quite :)

I tend to favor use of port 113 as I have actually seen someone trying 
to spoof my IP to a web server somewhere else in the world and seen 
identd foil their attempt in real time.
