You don't include details.  I looked at the headers of your list
message, and saw

I searched my logs (yesterday's, and today's so far) for
209.145.140.15, 66.92.72.194, akb, ident5, and bressen.  None of these
turned up any hits at all.

Without more information I can't say much.  What IP would I have seen
the connection come from?  When did the connection occur (please
include timezone, or specify UTC, or some such)?  What was the identd
response?  Something like that - enough for me to dig up the relevant
log entries and find out what happened.

Most often, the error I assume you got ("perhaps you're still using [an
identd] written to RFC 931 syntax even though RFC 1413 obsoleted 931
over a decade ago?") means the identd returns a response that claims to
be a UNIX username but which includes a space in the username (a real
example from today's log: "12902 , 25 : USERID : UNIX : fwuser").
Under 931, that would be the username "fwuser"; under 1413, " fwuser".
