The eigth column [of the log file] may contain the ident lookups for
the requesting client. Since ident lookups have performance impact,
the default configuration turns ident_loookups off. If turned off, or
no ident information is available, a ``-'' will be logged.

config:
# acl ident_aware_hosts src 127.0.0.1/255.0.0.0
ident_lookup_access allow localhost

then you need to enable an ident service for your computer I would
recommend that you only bind the ident daemon to the looback
interface.
