Phoenix Network Forums

hey when i use bnc from phoenix shell it uses my user name of poenix as ident . so can i change that ident . if i can then how i can change that . and i used a shell from some other shell provider , there i can change ident in user creation at bnc . but at phoenix i cant .. tell me i can change it or not:S

On any IRC network which checks for Identd you CANNOT change your ident.

Unless you have root access on the box your are connecting from, that way you can configure your ident daemon to either return random name or any name you specify. The ident protocol is very simple just read its rfc and you can start making your own identd, of course if you know how to handle sockets

you can change your hostmask though. thats a different thing.
