Enable ident on IRC clients.

How do you enable identd on your IRC client?

Many clients either have Identd built in or include the option to turn it on. Check the documentation for your particular client. Note however that there are clients that will not provide support.

|See Why am I unidentified and what does it matter?

An ident server normally is maintained by the Unix machine of your network provider... It is a kind of nameserver that guarantees your Identity. Since most standalone windows machines are not correctly backed up by an ident service, such a server is built into mIRC. IRC servers can do an Ident request to your Ident server and then expect a standardized kind of answer. More and more IRC servers require you to be identified in some way, and they will disconnect you if you're not identified ! Also if you don't react, or do so in the wrong way, they can decide to disconnect you.... You can check if you're properly identified by doing a /whois on yourself. The first line in the reply should NOT contain a ~ (tilde) or a - (minus). If you have a ~ or - in it try activating the Ident server.

mIRC's built-in Ident server can be switched to active under File/options/Connect/Identd/. Set it to :

User ID: (The part before the @ in your email address normally)

System: UNIX (ALWAYS fill in UNIX !! not dos, win or *whatever* else !!)

Listen on port: 113 (The standard ident port number)

mIRC: Alt-O > select the Connect tab > select the Identd tab > check all 4 boxes.

|See How do I enable ‘ident’?

Some networks or servers will require you to be running an "identification server" (IdentD) to connect to them, even though this service is only useful if you run a multi-user computer (where many people can connect and share a single computer).

* Windows: You can enable this service in ChatZilla in the Preferences by selecting "Enable Identification Server during connection process" for networks and Global Settings, on the General tab, in the Connection group.
* Linux, Mac: You must use the system-provided identification server (usually called "identd") as these OSes prevent normal programs from providing their own.

Note: The idententification service runs on TCP port 113 and this will need to be opened in your firewall (incomming) and forwarded by any NAT device as appropriate.

Note: I enabled ident but i still have ~, what do I do now?

|See How do I enable identd in X-Chat?

UNIX:

Identd isn't actually apart of X-Chat. You will need to download and install your own ident server. Most distributions, including Fedora, come with an ident server program called oidentd. Make sure it is enabled in /etc/xinetd.conf or read you distribution's documentation. As an alternative, you can try this experimental identd server: xchat_auth

WINDOWS:

The win32 version of X-Chat comes with a built-in identd server. It is enabled by default, but can be disabled with ''/set identd 0''.
