Can someone tell me if this only comes in source format and if so how do i compile it.Thanks. Is there anyway to connect to irc without using it?

Without knowing your distro, it's hard to answer that. There are RPM's of it, of course. If you have to compile, should go easlily. after you unpack it, there will be a README. Usually, the drill is ./configure, then make.
There ARE ircd's that don't check for port 113, but I have lost track of which ones are out there in the cloud. Most certainly do. Good luck, Ray

install pidentd-3.0.11-6mdk.i586.rpm
will be on one of the CD's or in the
/Mandrake/7.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/ directory of a download mirror you can find via mandrake.com.

When you use source:
unpack to a directory
cd to that directory
read README
follow the instructions
(./configure; make; make install etc)

When you use a binary rpm:
# rpm -i filename.rpm
