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
