bolt.sonic.net identd obscuring my username on IRC

[zgold]

Hello,

identd is running on bolt.sonic.net and it's causing my username on IRC networks to become hashed/obscured. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

For example: * [zg] (fJzO4h2m1O@bolt.sonic.net): zg

Thanks.

Yes,

Bolt's identd returns its information encrypted for privacy. If we get an abuse complaint, we can find out who ident thinks it was, as well as other information about the identd connection.

Run a "man identd" on Bolt to see the kinds of information it returns.

Hope that helps.
