Hey its the newbie again.
This time its about X-Chat. It says to install identd. i never had to do this on mirc wtf do i do what identd and where do i get it?

Just then i tried running an mIRC client in wine off my win partition and it said "couldnt lookup hostname.
I would prefer to use x chat tho.

Thanks in advance...

Master of Reality:
What distrobution is it?
How are you trying to install it.... rpm??

Doogee:
Red hat 7.3, i already have X-Chat installed, i want to know what identd is so i can use X-chat

Ice-9:
If I remember correctly that was an option you could switch on and off in mIRC (Windows).
I looked in my XChat setup and couldn't find any mention of Identd.
Which network are you trying to connect to?
As I mentioned in another thread I have problems connecting with Efnet (and it's bugging me beyond belief now) but others have no problem.

voidmain:
Do a "man identd".  In RedHat it is a service you start up. I personally turn identd off on all my servers. But if you need it then start it by typing:

# /sbin/service identd start

To make it start automatically at bootup type:

# /sbin/chkconfig identd on
