Blah..  there is a big difference between faking user@ and @host....  If you
are on a machine that doesn't run authd, etc, then there is no way to
actually work out WHO is coming from that connection, on the remote side.
It is extremely simple to fake username infact...  as to faking hostname..
well, there are several ways to do it.. but none of them are at all easy..

Why should a server admin compile ircd with auth defined, if the sites that
mainly use his server don't run authd..??  The "!id" is rather offensive to
some..  and in some cases it isn't nessicary..

Hmm..  As I recall it, it did crash; I was logged on as an op there at

Here's an idea for some fun with irc-newbies.  I'm assuming that you're

mv .plan .realplan
uuencode picture_of_me.gif < picture_of_me.gif > .plan
export IRCNAME="don't finger me"
irc

When done, simply "mv .realplan .plan"

It's even better if you have tcpd or a logging fingerd (-:

I think you'll find that not everyone on IRC has as many clues as a few
of us do about hostnames, etc and when they see something out of the
ordinary, they are most likely going to wonder and/or assume that
someone has done something to subvert the system they are used to.

It is quite reasonable, quite indeed, for someone to showup as
"foo@patriot" on patriot.mit.edu and be on another host.  I'm sure
you can find a plethora of such possibilities by using your very
skilled mind.  If not, then we don't need to be concerned about
you either, do we ?  I know of at least one instance where I can
do "finger @foobar@foobar.fqdn" and get finger info from a host
other than foobar.fqdn.  I would have thought you would be concerned
about all people and not just those with brains ?

If you really wanted to check user@host where host isnt a FQDN,
then you would do "finger user@host@<server's host>" and with any
luck, you'll get the correct answer everytime.

The server already has all this code in it.

Look in s_bsd.c for add_local_domain().

Just depends on whether patriot has working resolv library (or a
/etc/resolv.conf file setup properly).

The problems had seem to suggest that one of these two is at fault
and really should be corrected.

/etc/resolv.conf should have a line "domainname mit.edu" in it (seems
to me to be missing if everything else works) and the #defines in
config.h set correctly.
