Change ident on psyBNC?

[EnglishExpress]

<Retarded> How the hell do I change my ident on the BNC?
<Virus> what do you mean, like ident@blah.blah.com? don't you choose that when you first set it up?
<Retarded> Idk I'm on ryans shell so I don't have an option then?
<Virus> Ask him :o

This got me thinking, is there an option to change your ident via command line?

If Ident is installed by the server admin then on each user you add respectively their ident that ident will be shown on IRC but if the ident is not installed the server will only show the username of shell.

It's possible, depends on what operating system the server uses and what identd program is being used.

Well, when he is on irc his ident(3rk4n@blah.blah.com) from his own client is what is used for his ident on the psyBNC, but when he dcc's it his shown as "Almighty@blah.blah.com" so I assume the Almighty thing is the username of the shell admin/owner?

This sounds like the ircd is using the "username" from the connecting client as the ident, as Unrealircd and a few other do.

YooHoo that would only allow/disallow some hosts to connect to psy. For ex: I have a psy and i want only 10.0.0.* host should connect, so anyone behind that ip won tbe able to access my psybnc. Whereas, the owner of this post would like to know how to change ident

Sorry for acting smart /me runs & hides.

isn't the ident tied to the username of the shell account? unless, of course, someone were to have something like oident in their shell?

YooHoo:
That would first of all be assuming there is any identd-service running at all on the shell (lots of admins these days opt to not run such a service as it provides "sensitive" information about the system to 3rd-party).
If there's no identd-service accessible to the ircd, most would use the username provided with the USER command. Some rather choose to terminate the connection.

As for changing the username "on-the-fly", see the SETUSERNAME psyBNC command. Of course, if there is an identd-service available to the ircd, this would be of little to no use.

thank you nml375, that confirms what I had thought
