In ident_check, around line number 246, add the lines with the +'s in
front and remove the lines with the - in front:
else {
strncpy(buf2, usr, IDENT_LENGTH);
+ buf2[IDENT_LENGTH] = '\0';
strcat(buf2, "@");
strcat(buf2, d->host);
+ buf2[HOST_LENGTH] = '\0';
+ strcpy(d->host, buf2);
- strncpy(d->host, buf2, HOST_LENGTH);
}
If this works, please let me know. (Let me know if it doesn't work, and
i'll try to help to find another solution).

You aren't supposed to find out the username, which is why it is encrypted.
(The system admin is appearently worried about privacy.) What the
encrypted response is supposed to be for, is if you had a problem with that
user, you could go back to the system admin with that encrypted string, and
he could figure out which user it is.
