problems with server ident

Post by Gre-Gor »

Is it possible to block ident request for only one server ?
Because i need a fast response from that host and since it doesnt have ident server i have to wait ~10 sec and that's 10 sec i dont have. So if its possible to write some kinda of script that would prevent ident checkin on that host.

Oh ya, im talkin to that server through telnet/dcc

Thx in advance !

This is not possible.

It is not eggdrop doing the ident requests, it is the IRC server. Thus you will need to ask the server admins to stop using identd. just not likely.

If you have control on the system, you could listen on port 113, and terminate it as soon as you get anything. But it sounds like the problem might not be there anyway, are you talking about

*** checking for ident

or whatever? if so, and it is taking a while, does your system have an identd? where is it taking a while? if it is taking a while to do anything after that line, and you have an identd running then it sounds like there is nothing you can do about it.
