Often it's not that simple. They might both be partially right or they
might be answering different questions because they interpreted the
question differently.

Or try a query that implies you want a definition rather than a number:

identd server defined

will give you links to the gory details.

In short, Indentd stands for Indent Daemon. It's a server that implements
the Indentity Authentication Protocol. IRC servers contact the indentd
server on the IRC client system to verify, to some level, that the clients
are who they say they are.
