I'm not sure why this thread is titled "enable identd" - Jeff, didn't explain, and from his other posts, I don't think he made it up, it must be from an error message or something.

Do you know exactly what @home's irc server expects? Trusting anything that identd reports is quite silly. Expecting every
system to have an ident daemon running is also silly. What happens if you disable identd on the server?

Closing Link: myname[~me@cx123456-x.city.st.home.com] irc.home.com (Banned: install identd)

It seems that you aren't the only one to strike this issue.
Someone has written a special ident daemon which supports
masqueraded clients. You can read about it at:

http://p8ur.op.het.net/midentd/

If you want to use it you will have to replace the existing ident daemon, by editing the e-smith template for inetd.conf. See www.e-smith.org for some instructions on how to modify the e-smith server.
