Don't see why it should cause any particular difficulties.  You'll
need to run an instance of inetd(8) in each jail where you want ident
capability.  All of those inetd(8)'s and any inetd(8) from the base
system should be bound to specific IP addresses by using the '-a'
option -- otherwise they all attempt to bind to INADDR_ANY and end up
fighting each other.

Eg: if your machine uses 192.168.0.1 as it's principal IP and has an
alias address of 192.168.0.2 used by a jail, and you want inetd
services in both, you would put:

    inetd_enable="YES"
    inetd_flags="-wW -a 192.168.0.1"

in /etc/rc.conf on the host environment, and:

    inetd_enable="YES"
    inetd_flags="-wW -a 192.168.0.2"


	Cheers,
