well if you read the help for .help +user you will see it also takes a hostmask as an option... bots recognize users by hostmasks joe.. so without a valid one.. the bot will have no clue who that person is.. read .help +host as well
You could also add the users with .adduser, which will add a hostmask for you, but you may not like the host it adds either. They are sometimes fairly broad. You can also use adduser to add it static.. see .help adduser :)
As for ident.. it only works if you actually bind it.. and even when you do bind it if you "/msg bot ident password" it will only work if you are somewhat close to a stored host. If you attach your handle at the end tho it should work
