psyBNC and Ident

eXcel · Post by **eXcel** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 8:05 pm

Hey,

I am currently running a psyBNC on my shell but i have one little problem. The server im connecting to (GameSurge) needs me to run IDENT for each client connecting. I can't seem to figure out how to get IDENT to run with my psyBNC clients.

Any ideas as to how I can do this?

(My shell is Linux).

Thanks.

You have installed oidentd?

and if I was running eggdrop bots and PHP bots would they use oident too?

Ok im having problems with the Oidentd.

I get this: Fatal: Couldn't drop privileges. What does that mean and what do I have to do?

Command:
./oidentd -m -u crave -a 66.96.248.104 -i -p 1337

If I used 133 it says could not open socket.

I'm guessing your have root access?

oidentd is a daemon; /etc/oidentd.conf is edited (for fine tuning).

In a terminal:

Code: Select all

man oidentd

you have to use port 113, maybe iam wrong, but all IRCd's are looking for user ident on that port, so if you run it on other port, its useless

Ya, I dont have root, im using a shell account. Must I use root to install OIDENTD?

I get this

./oidentd -m -a 66.96.248.104 -i -p 113
Fatal: Unable to setup listening socket

My Provider says that 113 port is not being used but I still cannot open a socket on it. Whats is up? Any Ideas?

You have to be root to open listening port below 1024

Oh ok, thanks a lot. I will let my provider know.

P.S.

Once the ident is running with ./oidentd start all I have to do is run psybnc again (its compiled with OIDENTD) and it will automatically work with OIDENTD correct?
