Inetd runs on all the Solaris servers I'm on - due to SVM having entries in the /etc/inetd.conf. It doesn't run on Fedora laptop (since there is no such daemon).

What exactly are you trying to ask? inetd provides the server process for Internet standard services. Most of these services are commented out on Solaris servers for security reasons. Yet some entries are still needed (if you have a ftp server, commenting out ftp would cause your server to be useless in the role it plays).

inetd != identd

Few people run identd due to security concerns.
