It has nothing whatsoever to do with the name server. It's a bind()
system call that's failing EADDRINUSE. That's happening because you're
trying to make inetd listen on a port number that something else is
already using. That port appears to be a TCP socket for the (useless)
identification service. Consult /etc/services for which port number
your system thinks the auth service uses.
