Uh, not always. I've been on/off of IRC for the last, oh, 7 years or so, and _still_ don't bother to run identd. It's a nuisance, and as I'm the admin on my machines, I don't need it. I've always managed to find some well-run servers that don't require identd. -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
