This patch fixes an important problem with iauth's rfc931 (ident) module.
it is *strongly recommended* that the patch be applied if the IRC server is
configured to use iauth. (default configuration)

All 2.10.x versions are affected up to (and including) 2.10.2p1

To install this patch file
1) unpack irc2.10.x.tar.gz
2) "cd irc2.10.x"
3) run "patch < iauth-ident.diff"
4) configure and compile the software according to the manual
5) install the new iauth binary
6) if the server is already running, kill the running iauth process
   the IRC server should restart iauth
