AFAIK there's no ident daemon in inetutils. You can try
http://freeware.teledanmark.no/identd/ . I got it to work under

I don't think it makes any difference, but make sure the 113
(TCP) port is open, even if you don't have identd installed.
Here's what I got with irssi:

15:09:43 -!- Irssi: Looking up irc.freenode.net
15:09:43 -!- Irssi: Connecting to irc.freenode.net [209.218.71.2] port 6667
15:09:44 -!- Irssi: Connection to irc.freenode.net established
15:09:44 !irc.freenode.net *** Looking up your hostname...
15:09:44 !irc.freenode.net *** Checking ident
15:09:44 !irc.freenode.net *** No identd (auth) response
15:09:45 !irc.freenode.net *** Couldn't look up your hostname

And it connected.
