oidentd.conf problem

[RoboCop]

Hello, I'm using Linux Ubuntu dedicated server for my eggdrop bots to provide RSS feed new coverage and and anti spam bot system for blocking spammers and racist words that are against the QuakeNet rules.

The only problem is that my ident appears to be named as "desktop@" on all my bots and I get the G-Lined Kick.

I've been trying to fix the oidentd.conf by putting in from /etc/oidentd.conf:

Code: Select all

# Configuration for oidentd
# see oidentd.conf(5)
#
default {
	default {
		deny spoof
		deny spoof_all
		deny spoof_privport
		allow random
		allow random_numeric
		allow numeric
		deny hide
	}
}

user desktop {
	default {
		allow spoof
		allow spoof_all
		allow random
		allow hide
       }
}

But when I resetted my oidentd.conf by using "$ /etc/init.d/oidentd restart" it didn't seem to work - as this error in Shell came with this:

Code: Select all

desktop@ns304113:~$ /etc/init.d/oidentd restart
 * Restarting ident daemon oidentd                                              Error initializing core
                                                                         [fail]

Can you help please?

Hi, RoboCop

Just wondering, why would you need to alter the oident configuration?
Why not simply remove it

Code: Select all

apt-get remove oident

I can understand if other user's on your server may need it, but it would certainly fix your problem and be an easier workaround than other means.

The oidentd isn't necessary, if you need to remove the tilde (~) - all it does is open an extra port, 113.
Removing it won't affect your overall system. But, up to you.

It doesnt seem to work, also I did use the apt remove but with sudo for permissions and reseted the oidentd.

Code: Select all

sudo service oidentd restart

Instead it allowed to use someone elses ident from my sBNC username.

Ah wait I got it now you put down oident not oidentd!

I got it now thanks!

Ah it seems that remove oidentd affected my BNCs for QuakeNet as it's giving me "(G-lined) kick for IDENTD required from your host."

It doesn't appear to worked as the QNet needs my Identd to work for both my bots and sBNC...
