In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII That's interesting. The IRC client shouldn't be the application responding to an ident query...it should be your auth server (identd). Are you saying that you reboot the same computer into windows and run mIRC and it works fine, but when you boot into Linux and use BitchX it doesn't work? --------------------------- -=<(| mike@boobaz.net |)>=- On Tue, 2 Jan 2001 at 23:21, Slowping wrote: |I'm trying to figure out IRC with BitchX, and I have a question on how to |modify the ident lookups so that it doesn't return a tilde in my lookup |information. | |when I'm connected, and type "/whois", my ident information shows up with |a tilde in front of my hostname information.
