Hi,

I found a while ago (yet on 2.1-stable and 2.2.5 boxes) 
that identd does not seem to work properly under tcpd.
Although, I didn't check if identd should've been recompiled with some special
option to work properly with tcpd (like sshd should be).

Look in your /var/log/messages file, and you'd probably see complaing by
identd that it has problems (I forgot the exact message it produces being
wrapped with tcpd).
