IRC servers
Stack draait een eigen IRC server (ircd-ratbox 2.2) op irc.stack.nl. The server is verbonden met de Interlink IRC server. Samen vormen deze servers het Stack-Interlink netwerk.
Clients
Er zijn veel programma's (clients) waarmee je verbinding kunt maken met de IRC servers. Populair zijn irssi and xchat. Deze programma's staan ook geïnstalleerd op de login servers van Stack. Hier vind je meer informatie over de configuratie van irssi. Meer algemene informatie over IRC is te vinden op www.irchelp.org (Engels). The clients we recommend are irssi and xchat. These are installed on Stack's login servers. [http://www.stack.nl
IRC services
Stack also offers IRC services, these facilitate (among other things) channel registration, which simplifies channel administration and gives IRC operators more control over what happens. At the moment Stack runs the ratbox services.
The most important services are UserServ and ChanServ. See /msg chanserv help for usage details.
Some very common IRC commands are:
-
/msg userserv login username password -
/msg chanserv invite #channel -
/msg chanserv op #channel
-
Usernames and channels may be registered using the register command of the appropriate service. For usernames this is:
-
/msg userserv register username password emailaddress
-
The password can be chosen freely. Remember or store this password somewhere for later.
To register a channel, you must be a channel operator (@) and must be logged on with userserv. In that case you may issue the /msg chanserv register #channel command. One can then add registered channel users, with /msg chanserv adduser #channel username level/msg chanserv help moduser</code> for full details. Autoop/autovoice can be set with /msg chanserv modauto #channel username op (voice). Using /msg chanserv deluser #channel username a user can later be removed from the channel. When everybody has been removed (yourself last) the channel registration will be dropped.
