AFAIK there's no ident daemon in inetutils. You can try http://freeware.teledanmark.no/identd/ . I got it to work under XP. > Disabling the (Microsoft) firewall doesn't seem to help. I don't think it makes any difference, but make sure the 113 (TCP) port is open, even if you don't have identd installed. Here's what I got with irssi: 15:09:43 -!- Irssi: Looking up irc.freenode.net 15:09:43 -!- Irssi: Connecting to irc.freenode.net [209.218.71.2] port 6667 15:09:44 -!- Irssi: Connection to irc.freenode.net established 15:09:44 !irc.freenode.net *** Looking up your hostname... 15:09:44 !irc.freenode.net *** Checking ident 15:09:44 !irc.freenode.net *** No identd (auth) response 15:09:45 !irc.freenode.net *** Couldn't look up your hostname And it connected. -- How to contact me - http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
