2) Does anyone know a good working identd
this is a contradiction in terms. "Good" and "working" cannot coexist with "identd". Ok, I guess you could say that "an identd which accurately implements the identd protocol is 'working'", but that's like saying that "a car that is DESIGNED to explode into a fireball when you drive it, is functioning perfectly when it burns you to death." (which then suggests that "identd is the pinto of identification/authentication protocols" would be a good description) But, still, "good" doesn't belong in there.
identd in general is worthless. So, unless SA is using 'you run identd, so you must be a con-artist' as a means of increasing an SA score, I would avoid using anything based on identd.
