Remember you may put quotes in # # this field by escaping it using \". # # # # The network field indicates the network name given in on connect # # to clients. It is used by many clients such as mIRC to select a # # perform list, so it should be identical on all servers on a net # # and should not contain spaces. # # # # The server ID is optional, and if omitted automatically calculated # # from the server name and description. This is similar in # # in behaviour to the server id on ircu and charybdis ircds. # # You should only need to set this manually if there is a collision # # between two server ID's on the network. The server ID must be # # three digits or letters long, of which the first digit must always # # be a number, and the other two letters may be any of 0-9 and A-Z. # # For example, 3F9, 03J and 666 are all valid server IDs, and A9D, # # QFX and 5eR are not. Remember, in most cases you will not need to # # even set this value, it is calculated for you from your server # # name and description. Changing these will change your auto- # # generated ID. # # # #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- ADMIN INFORMATION -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# # # # Describes the Server Administrator's real name (optionally), # # nick, and email address. # # # # Syntax is as follows: # # # # # #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- PORT CONFIGURATION -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- # # # Enter the port and address bindings here. # # # # bind address - Specifies which address ports bind to. Leaving this # # field blank binds the port to all IP's available. # # # # port - The port number to bind to. You may specify a port # # range here, e.g. "6667-6669,7000,7001". If you do # # this, the server will count each port within your # # range as a separate binding, making the above # # example equivalent to five separate bind tags. # # A failure on one port in the range does not prevent # # the entire range from being bound, just that one # # port number. # # # # type - Can be 'clients' or 'servers'. The clients type is # # a standard TCP based socket, the servers type is a # # also a TCP based connection but of a different # # format. SSL support is provided by modules, to # # enable SSL support, please read the module section # # of this configuration file. # # # # ssl - When using m_ssl_gnutls.so or m_ssl_openssl.so # # modules, you must define this value to use ssl on # # that port. Valid values are 'gnutls' or 'openssl' # # respectively. If the module is not loaded, this # # setting is ignored. # # # # transport - If you have m_spanningtree.so loaded, along with # # either one of the SSL modules (m_ssl_gnutls or # # m_ssl_openssl) or m_ziplinks.so, then you may make # # use of this value. # # Setting it to 'openssl' or 'gnutls' or 'zip' # # indicates that the port should accept connections # # using the given transport name. Transports are # # layers which sit on top of a socket and change the # # way data is sent and received, e.g. encryption, # # compression, and other such things. Because this # # may not be limited in use to just encryption, # # the 'ssl' value used for client ports does not # # exist for servers, and this value is used instead. # # ____ _ _____ _ _ ____ _ _ _ # # | _ \ ___ __ _ __| | |_ _| |__ (_)___ | __ )(_) |_| | # # | |_) / _ \/ _` |/ _` | | | | '_ \| / __| | _ \| | __| | # # | _ < __/ (_| | (_| | | | | | | | \__ \ | |_) | | |_|_| # # |_| \_\___|\__,_|\__,_| |_| |_| |_|_|___/ |____/|_|\__(_) # # # # If you want to link servers to InspIRCd you must load the # # m_spanningtree.so module!

You may also # # use the 4in6 notation, ::ffff:1.2.3.4, where 1.2.3.4 is the IPv4 # # address to bind the port, but as of InspIRCd 1.1.1, this is not # # required. # # # # ------------------------------------------------------------------- # # # # PLEASE NOTE: If you have build InspIRCd as an IPv6 server, and you # # specify an empty bind address, the binding will be bound to ALL THE # # IPv6 IP ADDRESSES, and not the IPv4 addresses. If you are using an # # IPv6 enabled InspIRCd and want to bind to multiple IPv4 addresses # # in this way, you must specify them by hand. If you have built the # # server for IPv4 connections only, then specifying an empty bind # # address binds the port to all IPv4 IP addresses, as expected. # # # # When linking servers, the openssl and gnutls transports are largely # link-compatible and can be used alongside each other or either/or # on each end of the link without any significant issues. #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- DIE/RESTART CONFIGURATION -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- # # # You can configure the passwords here which you wish to use for # # the die and restart commands. Only trusted IRCop's who will # # need this ability should know the die and restart password. # # # # Syntax is as follows: # # # # # #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# INCLUDE CONFIGURATION #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# # # # This optional tag allows you to include another config file # # allowing you to keep your configuration tidy. The configuration # # file you include will be treated as part of the configuration file # # which includes it, in simple terms the inclusion is transparent. # # # # All paths to config files are relative to the directory of the main # # config file inspircd.conf, unless the filename starts with a forward# # slash (/) in which case it is treated as an absolute path. # # # # You may also include an executable file, in which case if you do so # # the output of the executable on the standard output will be added # # to your config at the point of the include tag. # # # # Syntax is as follows: # # # # # # # #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- CONNECTIONS CONFIGURATION -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# # # # This is where you can configure which connections are allowed # # and denied access onto your server. The password is optional. # # You may have as many of these as you require. To allow/deny all # # connections, use a '*' or 0.0.0.0/0. # # # # Syntax is as follows: # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # IP masks may be specified in CIDR format or wildcard format, # # for IPv4 and IPv6. You *cannot* use hostnames in the allow or # # deny field, as the state is applied before the user's DNS has # # been resolved. # # # # You can optionally name your connect allow/deny tags. If you do # # this, you may reference this connect tag as the parent of another # # connect tag with the option as shown above. If # # you do this, any options not explicitly specified in the tag will # # be copied from the parent. # # # # If the value maxchans is included, this overrides all other max # # channels related settings, including the separate oper maximum. # # You may set this to any (sane) value you wish and it applies to # # all users within this connect tag. # # # # You may optionally include timeout="x" on any allow line, which # # specifies the amount of time given before an unknown connection # # is closed if USER/NICK/PASS are not given. This value is in secs. # # # # You may optionally limit the number of clients that are matched # # by a single tag by specifying the maximum in the limit # # parameter. If set to 0, there is no limit, which is the default. # # # # You should also include a flood="x" line which indicates # # the number of lines a user may place into their buffer at once # # before they are disconnected for excess flood. This feature can # # not be disabled, however it can be set to extremely high values, # # rendering it effectively disabled. A recommended value is 10. # # A counter is maintained for each user which is reset every # # 'threshold' seconds and specifying this threshold value with # # threshold="X" indicates how often the counter is reset. For # # example, with flood="5" and threshold="8", the user may not send # # more than 5 lines in 8 secs. # # # # You may optionally specify the sendq size and ping frequency of # # each connect:allow line using the pingfreq="X" and sendq="X" # # settings as shown in the full example below. # # The ping frequency is specified in seconds, and the sendq size # # in bytes. It is recommended, although not enforced, that you # # should never set your sendq size to less than 8K. Send Queues are # # dynamically allocated and can grow as needed up to the maximum # # size specified. # # # # The optional recvq value is the maximum size which users in this # # group may grow their receive queue to. This is recommended to be # # kept pretty low compared to the sendq, as users will always # # receive more than they send in normal circumstances. The default # # if not specified is 4096. # # # # The sendq is the data waiting to be sent TO THE USER. # # The recvq is the data being received FROM THE USER. # # The names sendq and recvq are from the SERVER'S PERSPECTIVE not # # that of the user... Just to clear up any confusion or complaints # # that these are backwards :p # # # # The localmax and globalmax values can be used to enforce local # # and global session limits on connections. The session limits are # # counted against all users, but applied only to users within the # # class. For example, if you had a class 'A' which has a session # # limit of 3, and a class 'B' which has a session limit of 5, and # # somehow, two users managed to get into class B which also match # # class A, there is only one connection left for this IP now in A, # # but if they can connect again to B, there are three. You get the # # idea (i hope). # # # # NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE! # # The maximum limits by default apply to individual IP addresses # # This *MAY* be changed by modifying the block, in order # # to detect cloning across an ISP. # # # # The optional port value determines which port the connect tag is # # handling. If left out the connect tag covers all bound ports else # # only incoming connections on the specified port will match. Port # # tags may be used on connect allow and connect deny tags. # # # # The limit value determines the maximum number of users which may # # be in this class. Combine this with CIDR masks for various ISP # # subnets to limit the number of users which may connect at any one # # time from a certain ISP. Omit this value to not limit the tag. # # # #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- CIDR CONFIGURATION -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- # # # CIDR configuration allows detection of clones and applying of # # throttle limits across a CIDR range. (A CIDR range is a group of # # IPs, for example, the CIDR range 192.168.1.0-192.168.1.255 may be # # represented as 192.168.1.0/24). This means that abuse across an ISP # # is detected and curtailed much easier. # # # # ipv4clone: # # This specifies how many bits of an IP address should be checked # # against cloning in the tags, for example, if # # tags specified a limit of 2 (low!), and three users attempted to # # connect in the IP range 192.168.1.0-192.168.1.255, and ipv4clone # # was set to '24', the third connection would be disconnected. # # # # Valid values are 0-32, but you *don't* want 0. Using values which # # are not multiples of 8 can give confusing behaviour. # # For more info, see: http://www.inspircd.org/wiki/CIDR_Tutorial # # # # ipv6clone works in the same way, except for ipv6 addresses. Valid # # range is 0-128, but you *don't* want anything too small. # # # # Setting these to their maximum value (32, 128) will result in # # no actual CIDR checking being done, and clone checking will only be # # done across individual IPs. This is the default behaviour. # #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- CLASS CONFIGURATION -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- # # # Classes are a group of commands which are grouped together and # # given a unique name. They're used to define which commands # # are available to certain types of Operators. # # # # Syntax is as follows: # # # # # # # # The name value indicates a name for this class. # # The commands value indicates a list of one or more commands that # # are allowed by this class (see also 'READ THIS BIT' below). # # The usermodes and chanmodes values indicate lists of usermodes and # # channel modes this oper can execute. This only applies to modes # # that are marked oper-only such as usermode +Q and channelmode +O. # # ____ _ _____ _ _ ____ _ _ _ # # | _ \ ___ __ _ __| | |_ _| |__ (_)___ | __ )(_) |_| | # # | |_) / _ \/ _` |/ _` | | | | '_ \| / __| | _ \| | __| | # # | _ < __/ (_| | (_| | | | | | | | \__ \ | |_) | | |_|_| # # |_| \_\___|\__,_|\__,_| |_| |_| |_|_|___/ |____/|_|\__(_) # # # # You are not forced to give these classes the names given below. # # You can create your own named classes, if you want, in fact that # # is the whole idea of this system! # # # # Note: It is possible to make a class which covers all available # # commands.

Class names are case sensitive, # # separate multiple class names with spaces. # # # # host - Optional hostmask operators will receive on oper-up. # # # # Syntax is as follows: # # # # # # # # ____ _ _____ _ _ ____ _ _ _ # # | _ \ ___ __ _ __| | |_ _| |__ (_)___ | __ )(_) |_| | # # | |_) / _ \/ _` |/ _` | | | | '_ \| / __| | _ \| | __| | # # | _ < __/ (_| | (_| | | | | | | | \__ \ | |_) | | |_|_| # # |_| \_\___|\__,_|\__,_| |_| |_| |_|_|___/ |____/|_|\__(_) # # # # You are not forced to give these types the names given below. # # You can create your own named types, if you want, in fact that # # is the whole idea of this system! # # # #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- OPERATOR CONFIGURATION -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# # # # Opers are defined here. This is a very important section. # # Remember to only make operators out of trust worthy people. # # # # name - Oper name, this is case sensitive, so it is best to # # use lower-case. # # # # password - Password to oper-up, also case sensitive. # # encryption is supported via modules. You may load # # modules for MD5 or SHA256 encryption, and if you do, # # this value will be a hash value, otherwise put a # # plaintext password in this value. # # # # host - Hosts of client allowed to oper-up. # # wildcards accepted, separate multiple hosts with a # # space. You may also specify CIDR IP addresses. # # # # fingerprint - When using the m_ssl_oper_cert.so module, you may # # specify a key fingerprint here. This can be obtained # # using the /fingerprint command whilst the module is # # loaded, or from the notice given to you when you # # connect to the ircd using a client certificate, # # and will lock this oper block to only the user who # # has that specific key/certificate pair. # # this enhances security a great deal, however it # # requires that opers use clients which can send ssl # # client certificates, if this is configured for that # # oper. Note that if the m_ssl_oper.so module is not # # loaded, and/or one of m_ssl_openssl or m_ssl_gnutls # # is not loaded, this configuration option has no # # effect and will be ignored. # # # # type - Defines the kind of operator. This must match a type # # tag you defined above, and is case sensitive. # # # # Syntax is as follows: # # # # # #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- SERVER LINK CONFIGURATION -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# # # # Defines which servers can link to this one, and which servers this # # server may create outbound links to. # # # # name - The name is the canonical name of the server, does # # not have to resolve - but it is expected to be set # # in the remote servers connection info. # # # # ipaddr - Valid host or IP address for remote server. These # # hosts are resolved on rehash, and cached, if you # # specify a hostname; so if you find that your server # # is still trying to connect to an old IP after you # # have updated your DNS, try rehashing and then # # attempting the connect again. # # # # port - The TCP port for the remote server. # # # # sendpass - Password to send to create an outbound connection # # to this server. # # # # recvpass - Password to receive to accept an inbound connection # # from this server. # # # # autoconnect - Sets the server to autoconnect. Where x is the num. # # (optional) of seconds between attempts. e.g. 300 = 5 minutes. # # # # transport - If defined, this is a transport name implemented by # # another module. Transports are layers on top of # # plaintext connections, which alter them in certain # # ways. Currently the three supported transports are # # 'openssl' and 'gnutls' which are types of SSL # # encryption, and 'zip' which is for compression. # # If you define a transport, both ends of the # # connection must use a compatible transport for the # # link to succeed. OpenSSL and GnuTLS are link- # # compatible with each other. # # # # statshidden - When using m_spanningtree.so for linking. you may # # set this to 'yes', and if you do, the IP address/ # # hostname of this connection will NEVER be shown to # # any opers on the network. In /stats c its address # # will show as *@, and during CONNECT and # # inbound connections, it's IP will show as # # UNLESS the connection fails (e.g. due to a bad # # password or servername) # # # # allowmask - When this is defined, it indicates a range of IP # # addresses to allow for this link (You may use CIDR # # or wildcard form for this address). # # e.g. if your server is going to connect to you from # # the range 1.2.3.1 through 1.2.3.255, put 1.2.3.0/24 # # into this value. If it is not defined, then only # # the ipaddr field of the server shall be allowed. # # # # failover - If you define this option, it must be the name of a # # different link tag in your configuration. This # # option causes the ircd to attempt a connection to # # the failover link in the event that the connection # # to this server fails. For example, you could define # # two hub uplinks to a leaf server, and set an # # american server to autoconnect, with a european # # hub as its failover. In this situation, your ircd # # will only try the link to the european hub if the # # american hub is unreachable. NOTE that for the # # intents and purposes of this option, an unreachable # # server is one which DOES NOT ANSWER THE CONNECTION. # # If the server answers the connection with accept(), # # EVEN IF THE CREDENTIALS ARE INVALID, the failover # # link will not be tried! Failover settings will also # # apply to autoconnected servers as well as manually # # connected ones. # # # # timeout - If this is defined, then outbound connections will # # time out if they are not connected within this many # # seconds. If this is not defined, the default of ten # # seconds is used. # # # # bind - If you specify this value, then when creating an # # outbound connection to the given server, the IP you # # place here will be bound to. This is for multi- # # homed servers which may have multiple IP addresses. # # if you do not define this value, the first IP that # # is not empty or localhost from your tags # # will be bound to. This is usually acceptable, # # however if your server has multiple network cards # # then you may have to manually specify the bind # # value instead of leaving it to automatic binding. # # you can usually tell if you need to set this by # # looking for the error 'Could not assign requested # # address' in your log when connecting to servers. # # # # hidden - If this is set to true, yes, or 1, then the server # # is completely hidden from non-opers. It does not # # show in /links and it does not show in /map. Also, # # any servers which are child servers of this one # # in the network will *also* be hidden. Use with # # care! You can use this to 'mask off' sections of # # the network so that users only see a small portion # # of a much larger net. It should NOT be relied upon # # as a security tool, unless it is being used for # # example to hide a non-client hub, for which clients # # do not have an IP address or resolvable hostname. # # # # To u:line a server (give it extra privileges required for running # # services, Q, etc) you must include the tag as shown # # in the example below. You can have as many of these as you like. # # # # WARNING: Unlike other ircds, u:lining a server allows ALL users on # # that server to operoverride modes. This should only be used for # # services and protected oper servers! # # # # ------------------------------------------------------------------- # # # # NOTE: If you have built your server as an IPv6 server, then when a # # DNS lookup of a server's host occurs, AAAA records (IPv6) are # # prioritised over A records (IPv4). Therefore, if the server you are # # connecting to has both an IPv6 IP address and an IPv4 IP address in # # its DNS entry, the IPv6 address will *always* be selected. To # # change this behaviour simply specify the IPv4 IP address rather # # than the hostname of the server. # # # # ------------------------------------------------------------------- # # # # ____ _ _____ _ _ ____ _ _ _ # # | _ \ ___ __ _ __| | |_ _| |__ (_)___ | __ )(_) |_| | # # | |_) / _ \/ _` |/ _` | | | | '_ \| / __| | _ \| | __| | # # | _ < __/ (_| | (_| | | | | | | | \__ \ | |_) | | |_|_| # # |_| \_\___|\__,_|\__,_| |_| |_| |_|_|___/ |____/|_|\__(_) # # # # If you want to link servers to InspIRCd you must load the # # m_spanningtree.so module!

Its here to make you read ALL of the config # # file options ;) # #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- SERVER OPTIONS -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# # # # Settings to define which features are usable on your server. # # # # prefixquit - A prefix to be placed on the start of a client's # # quit message # # # # suffixquit - A suffix to be placed on the end of a client's # # quit message. # # # # fixedquit - A fixed quit message to display for all client # # QUITS. If specified, overrides both prefixquit # # and suffixquit options. # # # # prefixpart - A prefix to be placed on the start of a client's # # part message # # # # suffixpart - A suffix to be placed on the end of a client's # # part message. # # # # fixedpart - A fixed part message to display for all client # # parts. If specified, overrides both prefixpart # # and suffixpart options. # # # # allowhalfop - Allows the +h channel mode # # # # noservices - If noservices is true, yes, or 1, then the first # # user into a channel gets founder status. This is # # only useful on networks running the m_chanprotect # # module without services. # # # # qprefix - qprefix is used by the chanprotect module to give # # a visible prefix to users set +q (founder) in chan # # It should be set to something sensible like ~ or ! # # If not set, no prefix is applied to users with +q # # # # aprefix - aprefix is the same as qprefix, except it is for # # giving users with mode +a (protected) a prefix # # # # deprotectself - If this value is set to yes, true, or 1, then any # # user with +q or +a may remove the +q or +a from # # themselves. The default setting is to not enable # # this feature, which stops even the founder taking # # away their founder status without using services. # # # # deprotectothers-If this value is set to yes, true, or 1, then any # # user with +q or +a may remove the +q or +a from # # other users. The default setting is to not enable # # this feature, so that only +q may remove +a, and # # nothing but services may remove +q. # # # # cyclehosts - If this is set to true, yes or 1, then when a # # user's hostname changes, they will appear to quit # # and then rejoin with their new host. This prevents # # clients from being confused by host changes, # # especially in the case of bots, and it is # # recommended that this option is enabled. # # # # moduledir - This optional value indicates a runtime change of # # the location where modules are to be found. This # # does not add a supplementary directory. There can # # only be one module path. # # # # syntaxhints - If set to yes, true or 1, when a user does not # # give enough parameters for a command, a syntax # # hint will be given (using the RPL_TEXT numeric) # # as well as the standard ERR_NEEDMOREPARAMS. # # # # announcets - If this value is defined to yes, true, or 1, then # # a channels' timestamp is updated, the users on # # the channel will be informed of the change via # # a server notice to the channel with the old and # # new TS values in the timestamp. If you think this # # is just pointless noise, define the value to 0. # # # # ircumsgprefix - Use undernet style message prefix for channel # # NOTICE and PRIVMSG adding the prefix to the line # # of text sent out. Eg. NOTICE @#test :@ testing # # vs. the off setting: NOTICE @#test :testing # # # # hostintopic - If this is set to yes (the default) then the full # # nick!user@host is shown for who set a TOPIC last. # # if set to no, then only the nickname is shown. # # # # serverpingfreq- This value, when set, allows you to change the # # frequency of server to server PING messages. This # # can help if you are having certain network issues. # # # # pingwarning - This should be set to a number between 1 and 59 if # # defined, and if it is defined will cause the server# # to send out a warning via snomask +l if a server # # does not answer to PING after this many seconds. # # This can be useful for finding servers which are # # at risk of pinging out due to network issues. # # # # defaultmodes - The default modes to be given to each channel on # # creation. Defaults to 'nt'. There should be no + # # or - symbols in this sequence, if you add them # # they will be ignored. You may add parameters for # # modes which take them. # # # # moronbanner - The NOTICE to show to users who are glined, zlined # # klined or qlined when they are disconnected. This # # is totally freeform, you may place any text here # # you wish. # # # # exemptchanops - This option allows channel operators to be exempted# # from certain channel modes. # # Supported modes are +SfFgNc. Defaults to off. # # # # invitebypassmodes - This option allows /invite to bypass modes # # other than +i. # # # # # #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# PERFORMANCE CONFIGURATION #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# # # # maxwho - The maximum number of results returned by a /WHO # # query. This is to prevent /WHO being used as a # # spam vector or means of flooding an ircd. The # # default is 128, it is not recommended to raise it # # above 1024. Values up to 65535 are permitted. If # # this value is omitted, any size WHO is allowed by # # anyone. # # # # somaxconn - The maximum number of sockets that may be waiting # # in the accept queue. This usually allows the ircd # # to soak up more connections in a shorter space of # # time when increased but please be aware there is a # # system defined maximum value to this, the same way # # there is a system defined maximum number of file # # descriptors. Some systems may only allow this to # # be up to 5 (ugh) while others such as FreeBSD will # # default to a much nicer 128. # # # # softlimit - This optional feature allows a defined softlimit. # # if defined sets a soft maxconnections value, has # # to be less than the ./configure maxclients # # # # nouserdns - If set to yes, true or 1, no user DNS lookups # # will be performed for connecting users. This can # # save a lot of resources on very busy IRC servers. # # # # quietbursts - When synching or splitting from the network, a # # server can generate a lot of connect and quit # # snotices to the +C and +Q snomasks. Setting this # # value to yes squelches those messages, which can # # make them more useful for opers, however it will # # degrade their use by certain third party programs # # such as BOPM which rely on them to scan users when # # a split heals in certain configurations. # # # # netbuffersize - Size of the buffer used to receive data from # # clients. The ircd may only read() this amount # # of text in one go at any time. (OPTIONAL) # # # #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# SECURITY CONFIGURATION #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# # # # announceinvites # # - If this option is set, then invites are announced # # to the channel when a user invites another user. # # If you consider this to be unnecessary noise, # # set this to 'none'. To announce to all ops, set # # this to 'ops' and to announce to all users set the # # value to 'all'. # # # # The value 'dynamic' varies between 'ops' and 'all' # # settings depending on if the channel is +i or not. # # When the channel is +i, messages go only to ops, # # and when the channel is not +i, messages go to # # everyone. In short, the messages will go to every # # user who has power of INVITE on the channel. This # # is the recommended setting. # # # # disablehmac - If you are linking your InspIRCd to older versions # # then you can specify this option and set it to # # yes. 1.1.6 and above support HMAC and challenge- # # response for password authentication. These can # # greatly enhance security of your server to server # # connections when you are not using SSL (as is the # # case with a lot of larger networks). Linking to # # older versions of InspIRCd should not *usually* be # # a problem, but if you have problems with HMAC # # authentication, this option can be used to turn it # # off. # # # # hidemodes - If this option is enabled, then the listmodes # # given (e.g. +eI), will be hidden from users below # # halfop. This is not recommended to be set on mode # # +b, as it may break some features in popular # # clients such as mIRC. # # # # hidesplits - When set to 'yes', will hide split server names # # from non-opers. Non-opers will see '*.net *.split' # # instead of the server names in the quit message, # # identical to the way IRCu displays them. # # # # hidebans - When set to 'yes', will hide gline, kline, zline # # and qline quit messages from non-opers. For # # example, user A who is not an oper will just see # # (G-Lined) while user B who is an oper will see the # # text (G-Lined: Reason here) instead. # # # # hidewhois - When defined with a non-empty value, the given # # text will be used in place of the user's server # # in WHOIS, when a user is WHOISed by a non-oper. # # For example, most nets will want to set this to # # something like '*.netname.net' to conceal the # # actual server the user is on. # # # # flatlinks - When you are using m_spanningtree.so, and this # # value is set to yes, true or 1, /MAP and /LINKS # # will be flattened when shown to a non-opers. # # # # hideulines - When you are using m_spanningtree.so, and this # # value is set to yes, true or 1, then U-lined # # servers will be hidden in /LINKS and /MAP for non # # opers. Please be aware that this will also hide # # any leaf servers of a U-lined server, e.g. jupes. # # # # userstats - The userstats field is optional and specifies # # which stats characters in /STATS may be requested # # by non-operators. Stats characters in this field # # are case sensitive and are allowed to users # # independent of if they are in a module or the core # # # # operspywhois - If this is set then when an IRC operator uses # # /WHOIS on a user they will see all channels, even # # ones if channels are secret (+s), private (+p) or # # if the target user is invisible +i. # # # # customversion - If you specify this configuration item, and it is # # not set to an empty value, then when a user does # # a /VERSION command on the ircd, this string will # # be displayed as the second portion of the output, # # replacing the system 'uname', compile flags and # # socket engine/dns engine names. You may use this # # to enhance security, or simply for vanity. # # # # maxtargets - The maxtargets field is optional, and if not # # defined, defaults to 20. It indicates the maximum # # number of targets which may be given to commands # # such as PRIVMSG, KICK etc. # # # # hidekills - The hidekills value, if set, replaces the source # # of all oper-generated kills to be the given text # # to provide anonimity to your opers. # # # #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# LIMITS CONFIGURATION #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# # # # This configuration tag defines the maximum sizes of various types # # on IRC, such as the maximum length of a channel name, and the # # maximum length of a channel. Note that with the exception of the # # identmax value all values given here are the exact values you would # # expect to see on IRC. This contrasts with the older InspIRCd # # releases where these values would be one character shorter than # # defined to account for a null terminator on the end of the text. # # # # The identmax value has special meaning, as it may grow one # # character longer than you specify, to accomodate for a ~ character # # when m_ident is loaded. # # # # These values should match network-wide, otherwise you may end up # # with desyncs, and confusing your users by being able to use a nick # # of a certain length on one server but not on another. Servers will # # link with mismatched values, but this is NOT recommended as a long # # term measure! # # # # Values here should be self explanitory: # # # # maxnick - The maximum length of a nickname # # maxchan - The maximum length of a channel name # # maxmodes - The maximum number of parameterized mode changes # # per line # # maxident - The maximum length of an ident/username value # # maxquit - The maximum length of a quit message # # maxtopic - The maximum length of a channel topic # # maxkick - The maximum length of a kick message # # maxgecos - The maximum length of a GECOS (real name) # # maxaway - The maximum length of an away message # # # #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# # Logging # ------- # # Logging is covered with the tag, which you may use to change # the behaviour of the logging of the IRCd. # # In InspIRCd as of 1.2, logging is pluggable and very extensible. # Different files can log the same thing, different 'types' of log can # go to different places, and modules can even extend the log tag # to do what they want. # # An example log tag would be: # # which would log all information on /oper (failed and successful) to # a file called opers.log. # # There are many different types which may be used, and modules may # generate their own. A list of useful types: # - USERS - information relating to user connection and disconnection # - CHANNELS - information relating to joining and parting of channels. # XXX someone doc more on this # # You may also log *everything* by using a type of *, and subtract things out # of that by using -TYPE - for example "* -USERINPUT -USEROUTPUT". # # The following log tag is highly default and uncustomised. It is recommended you # sort out your own log tags. This is just here so you get some output. #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- WHOWAS OPTIONS -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# # # # This tag lets you define the behaviour of the /whowas command of # # your server. # # # # groupsize - Controls the maximum entries per nick shown when # # performing a /whowas nick. Setting this to 0 dis- # # ables whowas completely. # # # # maxgroups - The maximum number of nickgroups that can be added # # to the list. If max is reached, oldest group will # # be deleted first like a FIFO. A groupsize of 3 and # # a maxgroups of 5000 will allow for 5000 nicks to # # be stored with a history of 3, thus giving a total # # of 3 * 5000 = 15000 entries. A setting of 0 dis- # # ables whowas completely. # # # # maxkeep - The maximum time a nick is kept in the whowas list # # before being pruned. Time may be specified in # # seconds, or in the following format: 1y2w3d4h5m6s # # meaning one year, two weeks, three days, 4 hours, # # 5 minutes and 6 seconds. All fields in this format # # are optional. Minimum is 1 hour, if less InspIRCd # # will default back to 1 hour. # # # # # #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- BAN OPTIONS -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# # # # The ban tags define nick masks, host masks and ip ranges which are # # banned from your server. All details in these tags are local to # # Your server. # # # # # # badip lines ban an ip range (same as a zline) # # # # ipmask - The ip range to ban (wildcards possible) # # CIDR is supported in the IP mask. # # reason - Reason to display when disconnected # # # # badnick lines ban a nick mask (same as a qline) # # # # nick - Nick mask to ban (wildcards possible) # # reason - Reason to display on /NICK # # # # badhost lines ban a user@host mask (same as a kline) # # # # host - ident@hostname (wildcards possible) # # If you specify an IP, CIDR is supported. # # reason - Reason to display on disconnection # # # # exception lines define a hostmask that is excempt from [kzg]lines # # # # host - ident@hostname (wildcards possible) # # If you specify an IP, CIDR is supported. # # reason - Reason, shown only in /stats e # # # #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- INSANE BAN OPTIONS -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# # # # This optional tag allows you to specify how wide a gline, eline, # # kline, zline or qline can be before it is forbidden from being # # set. By setting hostmasks="yes", you can allow all G, K, E lines, # # no matter how many users the ban would cover. This is not # # recommended! By setting ipmasks="yes", you can allow all Z lines, # # no matter how many users these cover too. Needless to say we # # don't recommend you do this, or, set nickmasks="yes", which will # # allow any qline. # # # # The trigger value indicates how wide any mask will be before it is # # prevented from being set. The default value is 95.5% if this tag is # # not defined in your configuration file, meaning that if your # # network has 1000 users, a gline matching over 955 of them will be # # prevented from being added. # # # # Please note that remote servers (and services) are exempt from # # these restrictions and expected to enforce their own policies # # locally! # # # #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- YAWN -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# # # # You should already know what to do here :) # #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# MODULES #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# # ____ _ _____ _ _ ____ _ _ _ # # | _ \ ___ __ _ __| | |_ _| |__ (_)___ | __ )(_) |_| | # # | |_) / _ \/ _` |/ _` | | | | '_ \| / __| | _ \| | __| | # # | _ < __/ (_| | (_| | | | | | | | \__ \ | |_) | | |_|_| # # |_| \_\___|\__,_|\__,_| |_| |_| |_|_|___/ |____/|_|\__(_) # # # # Well done, you've reached the end of the basic configuration, your # # ircd should now start if you want to try it out!
