Subject: Problems with Ident

Hello,

I have a problem concernig ident identification.
Ident recognizes user with space before the username ie " bartek".
Could anyone explain me step-by-step how to use the patch, I mean where 
should I copy it or execute?

Here is the patch I found written by B. Dessent:

         * ident.c (ident_extract_username): Do not return a username
         with leading spaces.

- --- ident.c.orig        2005-04-06 01:20:14.062500000 -0700
+++ ident.c     2005-04-05 21:02:43.531250000 -0700

    p++;
    if (strlen (p) >= size)
      return 1;
+  while(*p == ' ')
+    p++;
    strcpy (username, p);
    return 0;
  }


My error looks as follows:

  (42)SERVER <<< 61032 , 1200 : USERID : FreeBSD : bartek
 > [11448] IDENT: resolved remote user to  bartek.
 > [11448] Invalid user name:  bartek


User bartek exists on a machine.
