At the moment, ngIRCd doesn't implement a "special IRC services interface".
|
|
But services acting as a "regular server" are supported, either using the IRC
|
|
protocol defined in RFC 1459 or RFC 2812.
|
|
|
|
Services have been tested using "IRC Services" version 5.x by Andrew Church,
|
|
homepage: <http://www.ircservices.za.net/>. This document describes setting up
|
|
ngIRCd and these services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Setting up ngIRCd
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The "pseudo server" handling the IRC services is configured as a regular
|
|
remote server in the ngircd.conf(5). In addition the variable "ServiceMask"
|
|
should be set, enabling this ngIRCd to recognize the "pseudo users" as IRC
|
|
services instead of regular IRC users.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
[SERVER]
|
|
Name = services.irc.net
|
|
MyPassword = 123abc
|
|
PeerPassword = 123abc
|
|
ServiceMask = *Serv
|
|
|
|
|
|
Setting up IRC Services 5.1.x
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
IRC Services 5.1.3 and above can be used with ngIRCd using the "rfc1459"
|
|
protocol module.
|
|
|
|
Please note that versions up to and including 5.1.3 contain a bug that
|
|
sometimes causes IRC Services to hang on startup. There are two workarounds:
|
|
a) send the services process a HUP signal ("killall -HUP ircservices")
|
|
b) apply this patch to the IRC Services source tree:
|
|
<ftp://ngircd.barton.de/ngircd/contrib/IRCServices513-FlushBuffer.patch>
|
|
|
|
At least the following settings have to be tweaked, in addition to all the
|
|
settings marked as required by IRC Services:
|
|
|
|
In ircservices.conf:
|
|
|
|
Variable Example value
|
|
|
|
RemoteServer server.irc.net 6667 "123abc"
|
|
ServerName "services.irc.net"
|
|
LoadModule protocol/rfc1459
|
|
|
|
In modules.conf:
|
|
|
|
Module protocol/rfc1459
|
|
|
|

Please let us know if you are successfully using other IRC service packages or
|
|
which problems you encounter, thanks!
