So, i just finished setting up my own IRC server using UnrealIRCD. I
am looking in to using vHosts via Hostserv. every time i try i get
this error message "The vHost ident is too long, please use an ident
shorter than 10 characters." even if its under 10chars. Nothing I
could find in any of the related conf files to set it longer than
10chars. I did however get it to work using the example in
unrealircd.conf that uses the /vhost command however i really don't
want to have to set it up that way, would rather use /hostserv and
anyone could request a vHost of their choosing. any ideas? Thanks in
advance!!

HostServ is provided by service packages, not by the IRCd; is it
Atheme or Anope?

Also, note that "ident" refers to the part before the @ in
`ident@hostname` (possibly including a leading tilde). Check yours
isn't too long.

anope as it was mentioned on the host i am using for the IRCD.

also it doesnt matter how long or how short it tells me 10chars or
less. the only way i was able to set a vhost was using the
unrealircd.conf using default values, i did /vhost test test and it
changed but would rather use hostserv so anyone can request a vhost

just thought there was something in 1 of the conf files(yes i checked
the hostserv conf) to change it to make it accept more then 10chars
but couldnt find anything

So what HostServ command did you use, exactly?
