What is Ident?

Ident (identify) protocol is a type of internet protocol that helps identify a user. The ident protocol works like a server daemon where it receives requests on a specified port. Ident allows the IRC server to validate user credentials while disallowing connections to exploited computers.

How do I know if my Ident is enabled?

A simple way to know through a simple /whois command. If you have ident enabled, the response will be: Rizonuser is rizonuser@someisp.net If not, it would look identical except for the (~): Rizonuser is ~rizonuser@someisp.net

My whois contains ~, what do I do?
