I'd try sniffing the IP traffic to and from it with a packet sniffer and/or tracing the daemon's system calls with strace. Manually invoking the daemon isn't going to prove a lot, you want to watch its reaction to Postgres. I believe some flavors of identd have debug tracing options, too ... check the man page ... regards, tom lane
