    The usual steps in debugging are:

    (1) Make sure that inetd has properly bound the TCP port. Telnet to the
         port and see if you can connect.

    (2) If you can connect, see if you can make an ident request -- you can
         read RFC 1413 to learn about the protocol, but the short of it is that
         you enter two port numbers, separated by a comma, reflecting server
         port and client port.

    (3) If you can connect but the connection closes immediately, check the
         system logs for an ident-related error from inetd or identd. The
         inetd man page talks some about error logging, and I assume whatever
         third party daemon you're using will likewise talk about it. If the
         third party daemon doesn't document how its logging and debugging
         works, I recommend against using it.

    You may find tools like ktrace(1) useful, inetd's -d mode, and so on.
