prefix ~ means that your IDENT server returned invalid reply, didn't reply
or is not installed.
it's possible that you have pidentd configured not to close ocnnection after
returning a reply (multiquery mode) - ircnet ircd's don't accept the reply
in such case. I'm justgoing to ask for a fix...
solution - install identd (pidentd for example). it's not as bad as some ppl
say :)
