What is identd?

[bhorne at banet.net (Bill Horne)]

This is probably a newbie question, but there's nothing in
the RH 5.2 info or man pages about it.

My ppp log shows at least one of these errors every time I
log on:

<date> <time> localhost inetd[486]: execv
/usr/sbin/in.identd: no such file or directory.

Please tell me why, and thanks for your time.
