Looks like what your seeing is the des encrypted version of identd's output... or at least as much of it as it as IRC is interested in.. normally it's much longer.... Escape character is '^]'. 22 , 4257 22, 4257 : USERID : OTHER :[u0+gzT21e/ZYOwfYck5Z5l83Ty8IYnLR] Connection closed by foreign host. ... you prolly wanna go into /etc/identd.conf and change... result:encrypt = yes ... to be "no" and then restart the daemon... Escape character is '^]'. 22 , 4257 22, 4257 : USERID : OTHER :root Connection closed by foreign host. ... or something like that. Beware.. now your system will leak information... the specific example I gave here let me see that the remote server's sshd daemon is running as root. Not a very interesting example but for things like named or apache it might by useful to me to know what user you've got those processes running as.
