Identd problems.

firewall · Post by **firewall** » Fri Jun 24, 2005 3:13 pm

What I have to do for my bots get their real identd(at xxx.conf) instead get in identd the name of the shell account?

I have to install some daemons or use a TCL?

Thank you.

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.

It's my personal shell...

I have 'ident' and 'identd' installed on it... Can it help me or I have to install 'oidentd' too?

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

Im having ident troubles too...

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

any other suggesttions?

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

it is a shell I have root access to..

but there in lies my problem, the bot is not taking the shell username it is using something pretty wierd... TngMstr (U2FsdGVkX1@....)

might be a sysid or something cause it is the same for a couple different bots
