Using Quassel with oidentd spoofing¶

1) In oidentd's configuration (/etc/oidentd.conf on Linux), add this block (note that the username may differ) and restart oidentd service.

user quasselcore {
    default {
        allow spoof_all
    }
}

2) Start quasselcore with --oidentd switch.

If you're using Debian and running it as a service, add this line to /etc/default/quassel:

DAEMON_OPTS="--oidentd" 

If this worked properly,

• Quassel core will show up in processes list with the --oidentd switch; and
• At the Quassel core user's home directory, you will see an .oidentd.conf file (if not, figure out what directory it is (on Linux, `echo ~quasselcore`) and ensure it is writable); and

• You will see "*** Got ident response" when connecting.
• At some networks that check oidentd response, a (up to 10 seconds) wait for an ident response will disappear.
• The username will not contain a tilde (ratbox, charybdis, derived ircds, and others).
• The username will match the name of the user in the core and user settings regarding username will not override it.
