I am using tsocks pacakage released for Debian Sid,
version 1.8beta5-1.1.
My socks server is SUN Iplanet Proxy server, configured
to require user/passwd login and ask for identd info
optionally.

tsocks will failed to auth against socks server if
identd service is running on my socks client.
tsocks will behave normally if I stop identd service on
client machine.

I found this bug by sniffing related packets with
tcpdump tool. I guess if the USERID reported by identd
is the same as the socks account ID, tsocks auth
attempts will not be rejected by socks server.
