I'm having some problems on the client side of Ident. Servers are unable to run a reverse dns lookup on my hostname, so I can't get on many IRC servers and some ssh daemons reject me. I don't have a registered hostname, so I made something up during the Debian config. Anyone have any ideas as to what my problem is? I am using DHCP via a router and here is some more info:
in /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 babylon
192.168.1.100 localhost
/etc/inetd.conf:
ident2 stream tcp wait identd /usr/sbin/ident2 ident2
/etc/hostname:
babylon.philo
IRC Errors:
-:- Unable to connect to port 6667 of server irc.gamesurge.net: Address family not supported by protocol
If I /quit during connect it gives my fake host:
-:- SignOff: <Nickname (registered yet>
asdf@babylon.philo <Nickname has no reason)
Thanks, any ideas are greatly appreciated.
