10.3: Enable identd server for internet relay chat use
Authored by: echelonbe86 on May 16, '05 07:15:50AM

Hey macosxSUCKS, ever tried google.com to search why? identd is a totally useless and insecure protocol! You are blaming the wrong people. You should blame the IRC servers that believe in suck a pointless protocol, like irc.efnet.net.
I assume you are not very familiar with commands in Terminal, so try X-Chat Aqua or something with identd built-in. If it still doesn't work, you probably have blocked internet traffic to port 113, you can easily enable this port in your System Preferences. If it still doesn't work, configure your router/gateway. How to do this depends on the model you have, but most routers have a nice user friendly configuration website. You will hate me for saying this, but you should check your manual ;-)
