To make this a little more specific, I get the message everytime I make an
outgoing connection in which the foreign host queries my identd. I make
a connection, the foreign host queries my identd, and the "modprobe:
can't load module" message pops up. I'm on a LAN so I doubt it has
anything to do with PPP.
