IRC, identd problem [SOLVED]

[czo]

Hi folks

I have a problem here...

I installed the IRC client "irssi" from ports ran it, and did

Code: Select all

/connect irc.freenode.net

the server answerd

Code: Select all

00:17 -!- Irssi: Looking up irc.freenode.net
00:17 -!- Irssi: Connecting to irc.freenode.net [216.165.191.52] port 6667
00:17 -!- Irssi: Connection to irc.freenode.net established
00:17 !irc.freenode.net *** Looking up your hostname...
00:17 !irc.freenode.net *** Found your hostname, welcome back
00:17 !irc.freenode.net *** Checking ident
00:18 !irc.freenode.net *** No identd (auth) response
00:18 -!- Hmmm, that wasn't the right password
00:18 -!- ERROR Closing Link: 127.0.0.1 (Bad Password)
00:18 -!- Irssi: Connection lost to irc.freenode.net

hmm No identd (auth) response

after that i found and installed net-misc/oidentd

Code: Select all

emerge  oidentd
/etc/init.d/oidentd start
* Starting oidentd ...                                                                                           [ ok ]

I had checked netstat and disabled all firewalls.(router/computer)

Code: Select all

# netstat -plunt | grep 113
tcp        0      0 :::113                  :::*                    LISTEN      20943/oidentd   

But irssi still returns the same error message...

btw xchat runs fine...

so any idea what i can try.. i have already tryed 4 diffrent ident daemons...

greets cenzole

/me flames himself (before someone else beats me to it)

Your real problem is not identd but the password you're trying to give to the server (this should be your nickserv password, if you have one, otherwise nothing). I'm at uni and they block idnentd (and just baout everything else) here, so I get:

Code: Select all

 --- Connecting to chat.eu.freenode.net (193.22.254.99) port 6667..
 --- Connected. Now logging in..
 --- *** Looking up your hostname...
 --- *** Checking ident
 --- *** Found your hostname
 --- *** No identd (auth) response
