fireaxe identd[374]: Connection from 194.47.252.146
fireaxe identd[374]: from: 194.47.252.146 ( 194.47.252.146) for: 1034, 6666
fireaxe identd[374]: Successful lookup: 1034 , 6666 : ariel.staff 

Now, what does it tell you ?? The protocol(please read the RFC) says that
the remote machine gives the original host the port that the incoming
connection is coming from on the original host, and the original host
returns the owner of the process attached to that port(the new pidentd
daemons break RFC, and return user.group instead, but they still can be
forced to only return user).
