Another things which I have noticed on the Ident Checking in the beginning stages of logging on is that is slows down the loggin process trmendously! When I log into other IRCds it zooms through this stage so maybe its a config mistake which I have made. Please could you assist on how to speed it up.
You __could__ try commenting out the line: start_auth (acptr);which should be around line 1438 in s_bsd.c and see if that resolves it, but its untested and i dont know if anything will break because of it.
