 The problem is that the identd daemon doesn't remove this file upon 
 exiting, as a result, a stop will return a no such process error anyway.
 
 Kind of a case of 6 of one, half a dozen of the other...
 
 That said, it's certainly feasible to check for the existence of the pid 
 file, and if it exists, send a kill to the pid in it and then rm the file, 
 all within the rc.d script.
