What is the consensus on port 113/ident and having it running/open? I see on a goggle search there are many opinions on it. I have it blocked at my FW but it is running (by default) on my Linux server. I so far see no adverse effects. It mostly seems to be associated with SMTP but not used much anymore and never required. It also seems that some services like IRC? use it. I see occasional hits in the log usually with SMTP transfers.
