Is there something set that only allows a max length of a user@ip ?
I'm testing a Bot and I called it Network-Bot,
Ok I was using ign before unreal and when the bot loggin in it logged in as
[email protected]
unreal shows
[email protected]
thus bot fails oper auth due to what I think is it passed the max char allowed
is this true?
if so how can i extend the length

this is not the userhost, that's the ident - which is limited to 10
don't know if you're able to change this without breaking things.

Highly doubtful, and if you did, you'd be losing support.

I don't undersand anyway, AFAIK it has always been 10 :P. So how could this suddenly be a problem?

IIRC Identd is limited to a length of 10 through the IRC protocol, and possibly through the Identd protocol... Making it longer will break clients that expect a length of no more than 10 characters.

Actually, I don't think the RFC's limit the username ;). I also don't think it would break any clients.
For example on M$ Exchange they have like 30 character long idents [woah], very funny ;p.

Isn't identd defined as a valid UNIX username? So, what's the length limits on those?
