change your shell login name. if its temporäry maybe your provider lost the UID <-> NAME assosiation or they changed identd to echo the UID instead of the NAME... anyhow, as long you dont have controll of identd or your shell login name you won't be able to change this.

don't run identd with -n switch

ok ..now it shows my user instead of my uid .... now it works fine ..but ..
Can I change it to whatever I want ? or ...maybe...that's not possible?
