Ok, i installed the ident patch, and after a few trial runs,
I started getting bugged out usernames, most of em ended up having
crap like n e w s ]
or
[qsccts south.
as the username. Anyway, i did a bit of log() this,
and log() that, b/c frankly, gdb lags too long on getting Idents.
anyway, i logged the string sent from the person's Ident server,
and i got something similar to this
the
45626 , 9001 : USERID : OTHER : [m/LHmzTTLcFOcnJvlBAe0jjRxQ4JzfAQ]
anyway, when i log in from localhost something like
15251 , 9001 : USERID : UNIX : nexus
pops up as the string. now i'm no UNIX guru, but I was wondering,
would that username after the OTHER happen to be ENCRYPTED?
if this is so, how am i supposed to find out the username?
i've also noticed, that the username code is always the same length,
and has [] (brackets) around it.
If anyone can help me solve this problem, (i currently changed the code
to not even worry about OTHER type strings for now)
i would appreciate any input or ideas. Mainly, I wouldn't mind talking
to the guy who came up with the Ident patch :-)
thnx, and Code on
