Quassel IRC

h1. 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.

<pre>

user quasselcore {

    default {

        allow spoof

        allow spoof_all

    }

}

</pre>

2) Start quasselcore with --oidentd switch. 

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

<pre>

DAEMON_OPTS="--oidentd"

</pre>

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).

Now when connecting to IRC:

* At some networks that check oidentd response, a (up to 10 seconds) wait for an ident response will disappear. You will see "*** Got ident response" when connecting.

* 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.
