IDENTs always failing?

2002-04-03T18:03:00-04:00

I tried it that way too... I tried nearly everything I knew to do. I don't know the eggdrop deep magic... My only idea left is to create a new bot configured like the old one and see if it works.

I typed:
/msg mutsumi ident 123456
before joining any channels.
Mutsumi is the bot's nick, of course.
My nick at the time was JamesTheGreat, which is why I left off the handle.

In the conf file, I found this:
unbind msg - ident *msg:ident
unbind msg - addhost *msg:addhost

I commented out those lines.
Now, when I try to ident, Mutsumi does nothing when I type the correct password (and displays nothing on the DCC console.) A .whois confirms that the hostname settings for JamesTheGreat have not been updated.
When I type the incorrect password, Mutsumi says nothing, but displays "[11:03] (JamesTheGreat!skip@kato-pppoa-ws-322.dsl.hickorytech.net) !*! failed IDENT JamesTheGreat" on the DCC console.

Certain users complain that they never can IDENT to my eggdrop bot. I decided to test this. I manually added a user called JamesTheGreat to the bot (+user JamesTheGreat) and set his password to 123456.
Then, I logged on to the irc server as JamesTheGreat and tried /msg mutsumi ident 123456. She never said a word to me, but watching the console showed lines like "[10:06] [JamesTheGreat!skip@mn-rbe2-ws-359.dsl.hickorytech.net] ident 123456"

Why is she ignoring all attempts to ident?
