This document and the Tircproxy program were written by Bjarni R. Einarsson, after many years of IRC addiction, a few years of Linux administration, and some encounters with IRC-hostile firewalls.
The oidentd program was written by Odin ( odin@ojnk.nu), but the "CDIR" patch which allows it to cooperate with Tircproxy was written by Bjarni.
