You can use oidentd to spoof ident replies so that they match idents configured within ZNC.
Append the following to your system-wide configuration file:
user username {
default {
allow spoof
# Use this if ZNC needs to spoof local user names
allow spoof_all
}
}
Replace username with the user name of the ZNC user (example: znc
).
Change to the user running ZNC (e.g., using su znc -ls "$SHELL"
), and use the
following commands to create an empty user configuration file:
touch ~/.oidentd.conf
chmod 644 ~/.oidentd.conf
Ensure that the home directory is world-executable (mode 711
) so that oidentd
is able to read the configuration file:
chmod 711 ~
Ensure that ZNC’s identfile module is loaded and configured correctly:
/MSG *status LoadMod identfile
/MSG *identfile SetFile ~/.oidentd.conf
/MSG *identfile SetFormat global { reply "%user%" }
/MSG *status SaveConfig
Note that %user%
expands to the name of the ZNC user that initiated the
connection. Another popular choice is %ident%
, which allows users to specify
any ident. %ident%
should not be used on public instances. Other possible
values are listed in ExpandString.
Your changes will take effect after you reload oidentd and reconnect to IRC.
