If you have bought a shell from a shell provider then there is not much you can do aside ask the admin to allow you too use alternative idents. If its your personal box or you know the admin of the box you are using you can ask them to install 'oidentd' and that should fix your problem. Dont count on a comercial shell provider installing anything to allow you to use an alternate ident though.
The lifecycle of a noob is complex. Fledgling noobs gestate inside biometric pods. Once a budding noob has matured thru gestation they climb out of their pod, sit down at a PC, ask a bunch of questions that are clearly in the FAQ, The Noob is born
Search through this forum it has been answered time and time again and RTFM.

heh, your warning to potential rippers is lengthier than your code (which doesn't do anything but simply write presumably constant information to a conf file that should be static) - no offense though, welcome to the egghelp forums
I tried the identd.tcl from, DarkDeviL and although it did create the global reply "Tng", in oidentd.conf, it still didnt change the ident of the bot once it joined a channel.
oh... I do have oidentd server running on the shell
if you run your bot from a paid shell account, you cannot change the bot's ident - which is actually your shell username - since the shell owners have to be accountable for their users' actions - that is, ircops/admins need to be able to report abuse to them by identifying the abuser by his/her real username, which is reported as ident on IRC
