-> Is the ~ in front of your name in IRC due to the lack of auth installed? I -> cannot find identd anywhere with dpkg. I've tried dpkg -l|grep iden. When -> I had deb installed on another system I somehow picked up identd and I was -> not listed as ~ in name so that got me thinking. Anyway, what is the std -> debian auth package? <-- assuming this is the issue?
prefix ~ means that your IDENT server returned invalid reply, didn't reply or is not installed. it's possible that you have pidentd configured not to close ocnnection after returning a reply (multiquery mode) - ircnet ircd's don't accept the reply in such case. I'm justgoing to ask for a fix... solution - install identd (pidentd for example). it's not as bad as some ppl say :) -- Matus "fantomas" Uhlar, sysadmin at NEXTRA, Slovakia; IRCNET admin of *.sk [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ ; http://www.nextra.sk/ On the other hand, you have different fingers.
