I'm a little confused by the "connect back".  I assume the
connection just hangs for about 30 seconds, and then you get on?

Did you consider this might not be a ident problem, but the
resolver?  It also has a timeout.

Do you resolv when you get online?  Did you check your
/etc/resolv.conf?  Ircd needs a working nameserver.

That's a weird one, I'll see if I can reproduce that.

Well, you used -t, which makes the debug log to go stdout.
ircd.log should be created in /usr/local/var/log.

Other log files are only written to when they exist.  You have to
create them before it attempts to write to it.
