From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2.1) Gecko/20010901 Description of problem: I don't know for a fact that this is a pidentd but but I would guess that it is. I just upgraded to redhat 7.2 and started irc. Whenever pidentd is invoked it tells the remote server that I have some very strange user name with what appears to be a random sequence of characters like (e.g. [weOIJFdesd). The user name that it says I have is different each time. It doesn't matter which irc client I run, and this only happens when the relevant irc server acquires my username with identd. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Make sure identd daemon is started 2.start xchat or ircII and connect to some server that uses identd 3.look at your user name by typing /whois <your irc-nickname> Actual Results: My identity comes out as something like [AefNOEef@home.cgocable.net. Expected Results: I should see hermes@home.cgocable.net Additional info:
