If you modify /etc/inetd.conf, and change the auth mechanism, then hup
inetd, inetd continues to use the old auth, not the new auth.

Fix: This path from Ben Smithurst <ben@scientia.demon.co.uk> and tested
by submitter.

How-To-Repeat: 
modify /etc/inet.conf to contain this auth line:

auth    stream  tcp     nowait  nobody /usr/local/etc/ident.sh     auth

then create this script in /usr/local/etc/ident.sh

#!/bin/sh
ident=`/bin/date +%s`
xxx=`/usr/bin/head -c 11`
echo $xxx : USERID:UNIX:$ident

then killall -hup inetd

then try a telnet to port 113 from another box:

[dan@set:/usr/local/etc/freshports] $ telnet 192.168.0.20 113

0 , 0 : ERROR : X-INVALID-REQUEST
Connection closed by foreign host.

As you can see, there's no way said script can create that error.
inetd is still using the other auth.
