That doesn't matter, given what ident is for. If it's a single user machine,
or a multi-user machine that doesn't normally run ident, as most windows
machines are, then the sysadmin dealing with the abuse report will just
ignore the ident information. He'll only pay any attention to it if it comes
from an identd he configured, and in that case it will be useful to him.
