Problems with ident on long nicknames

Post by Wot-A-Guy »

I am running 1.6.10.
I have a couple of ops in my room with long names and have therefore rebuilt the eggdrop with HANDLEN set at 32. I am now quite happily able to get most ops with nicks longer that 9 chars idented correctly. The two problem ops have the nicknames mr_mrs_hooters and tempress_24ca. Both 14 characteres long and both have underlines in their nicks - though the use of underlines does not appear to cause the problem as I have two ops with nics 9 char or shorter with underlines. The message received when these two ops try to ident is the:

!*! failed IDENT xxx

message. This is driving me to distraction - any one have any ideas other than getting them to change their nicknames!

Any help much appreciated.
