[Connection HELP]

[pluribus]

When i connect to mesa.az.undernet.org ( 173.245.201.28 )

I get the following message::

*** Looking up your hostname
*** Checking Ident
*** No ident response
insecure computer. .

Then a message that I am k-lined.

What does this mean "insecure computer" and why am I getting the message. This is only happening on one machine , even though all my machines are using the same OS, client (xchat) and external IP ( all on one NAT with one WAN IP )

Please explain why this one computer is considered insecure by this server.

Thank you

Looks like the reason is because the local user was "superuser" which is a term sometimes synonymous with "root." I am futher testing the theory but i think the mesa server may block any ident info with superuser in it.

Not looks like, is... You will find most irc servers (as in not just undernet) will block common OS service usernames like root, postmaster, superuser, mail, www, etc
