The username is set in the properties of your IRC account :
menu Accounts / Manage Accounts
select your IRC account, click "Modify..." then on the tab "Advanced"
you can set the "username" and also "Real Name"
Your hostname is your actual hostname. I can be changed by connecting
over a different ISP or using some kind of a proxy.
Regards,
David

Subject: A question on data protection
Hi,
I am writing you this message, because I would like to ask you
the following question:
"I use Ubuntu 8.10, and Pidgin 2.5.2. When I connect to the IRC
protocol, some of my data appear. So, I was wondering if there is any
way for me to hide/change the piece of information: usern...@hostname,
which appears when someone else uses the "info" feature to find out my
identity".
I would like to thank you in advace for your help.
Best Regards.
