1] This may be caused by your IRC client. IRC clients usually send out your
username as part of the login process as defined by the IRC RFC's. If you
telnet to an irc server, port 6667, and issue these commands:
USER test 0 0 test
NICK blahblah
QUIT
does the IRC server still identify you with your real username?
2] If you do have a user ``test'' on your system, setting your .fakeid
to this user will be ignored. (Probably not the case, but added it
anyway)
