Maset the Grandiose.

Without suffering,
how can one appreciate happiness?
And how would we mark the depths of our sorrow,
without the light of hope?

Subject: Re: socks

Nah, it reports it as 'sety'.

The problem is because the connection is comming from mooneye and not
mermaid, and SOCKS is running as root.  Therefor, when the IRC server asks
the identd on mooneye who's using that port to connect to the IRC server,
it sais 'root'.

Simplest solution would be to turn identd off on mooneye.  :P

There may be a neater work arround for this in the SOCKS documentation.


Cheers,
Stuart
