[Unreal-users] I really need to disable identd

[Andy G. <ti...@de...>]

Is there *any way* to disable identd?  I have users who use a proprietary irc client that doesn't have an identd server.  I've seen
it done in an older version of the dalnet code which Unreal is based on.  I will start getting into the code if I have to but I
wanted to check again if there was any easier way to do this.
Thanks,
-Andy G.

afaict identd doesn't help security at all... you can set it to return any user name you want.  I can't even figure out the purpose
behind identd.

if anything it gives people a false sense of security. it seems like its
protecting your identity but in fact using the same ident as someone is just
a matter of copy and paste.
[depreciated] as they say in the ircd.conf :)

even if it doesnt get identd it still logs the user in, so where's the
problem? :P

On windows yes, but on *nix no you are assigned a username when your account
is created and that is what you use, you can not change it without creating
another account
