~eggdrop@h24-86-120-8.ed.shawcable.net

i want to change this hostname, is this done in the config file?

im using eggdrop ver 1.6.8

ok youve pasted a hostmask which has ident@hostname.

now, do you want to change ident or hostname? i hope for your sake you need an ident change

set username "badass" in your conf should do this (if no identd is running, which in your case seems likely)

'~eggdrop' is the ident and '@h24-86-120-8.ed.shawcable.net' is your ip (actualy the dns of the ip). If on your server you don't have other IP than this then you can change the ip. The only thing you can change here is the ident, and spock told you how to do so.

if you want to change the username its the first var in your conf: set username "newusername"
now if your shell is not running identd allowing users to change their username your SOL., as for the resolved host if your shell provides vhosts change the ip in: set my-ip "ip.of.host.youwant" and set my-host "the.host.you.want".
