Newbie: Ident problems

[Geoffrey Lane <freeballer rogers com>]

I keep getting problems with identd.... I'm trying to connect via xchat to 
dalnet...
First my sys conf:
Redhat 7.3
Xchat 1.8.10
(Behind linksys router)


I was getting errors with identd, so I decided to install identd for linux 
from http://www.fukt.bth.se/~per/identd/   Which I previously asked the list 
a few days earlier about an error was

[root Downstairs linux-identd-1.2]# make
gcc -DVERSION=\"1.2\" -Wall -pedantic -O2    -c -o identd.o identd.c
identd.c: In function `lookup_uid':
identd.c:132: warning: int format, uid_t arg (arg 7)
identd.c: In function `compose_response':
identd.c:155: warning: `pwd' might be used uninitialized in this function
gcc  identd.o -o identd
sed -e "s/#VERSION#/1.2/" identd.8.in > identd.8
[root Downstairs linux-identd-1.2]# make install
install -d /usr/sbin
install -d /usr/man/man8
install -m 0755 identd /usr/sbin/identd
install -m 0644 identd.8 /usr/man/man8/identd.8
ln -s identd /usr/sbin/in.identd
ln: `/usr/sbin/in.identd': File exists
make: *** [install] Error 1
[root Downstairs linux-identd-1.2]#

I checked kpackage and found an entry called pidentd and both programs use 
/etc/identd.conf file.... Which I'm pretty sure is the cause of this 
error.... Now the problem is. Are they conflicting or something? Can both be 
uninstalled and then re-installed? Can this be fixed?

Can someone please help me with this? I know I'm an idiot but that's why I'm 
asking the smart linux people what to do!!!
