One that I use is called oidentd, the latest version is 1.6.4 and the homepage is http://ojnk.sourceforge.net/ (freshmeat seems to be down) As you say, clones are just users with the same ip address and ident - and are considered by ircops to be the same person fooling around. Using an ident forwarder like this at least gives you seperate and valid idents, so usually you're safe from being considered a clone. Some nazi ircops will still kick you for having the same ip address on some networks though, your mileage may vary :) Regards, Simon - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
