Port 113 security

Hey all!

Currently I block port 113 (ident) on the firewall. I block everything and pick and choose what to let in. Never got around to letting this in :) Anyway, I have about 6-7 in.identd processes running all the time from failed ident attempts. Nothing big really. System is working great. Logs get filled a little much with DENY messages.

So does evryone generally let these thru? Any exploits? is there a way to get rid of those in.identd processes if I leave it blocked?

Thanks,

Chris
