41 #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# CONFIGURATION FORMAT #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-
43 # In order to maintain compatibility with older configuration files, #
44 # you can change the configuration parser to parse as it did in #
45 # previous releases. When using the "compat" format, you need to use #
46 # C++ escape sequences (e.g. \n) instead of XML ones (e.g. &nl;) and #
47 # can not use <define> to create macros. #
48 #<config format="compat">
50 #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# INCLUDE CONFIGURATION #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#
52 # This optional tag allows you to include another config file #
53 # allowing you to keep your configuration tidy. The configuration #
54 # file you include will be treated as part of the configuration file #
55 # which includes it, in simple terms the inclusion is transparent. #
57 # All paths to config files are relative to the directory that the #
60 # You may also include an executable file, in which case if you do so #
61 # the output of the executable on the standard output will be added #
62 # to your config at the point of the include tag. #
64 # Syntax is as follows: #
65 #<include file="file.conf"> #
66 #<include executable="/path/to/executable parameters"> #
68 # Executable Include Example: #
69 #<include executable="/usr/bin/wget -q -O - http://mynet.net/inspircd.conf">
73 #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# VARIABLE DEFINITIONS -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#
75 # You can define variables that will be substituted later in the #
76 # configuration file. This can be useful to allow settings to be #
77 # easily changed, or to parameterize a remote includes. #
79 # Variables may be redefined and may reference other variables. #
80 # Value expansion happens at the time the tag is read. #

141 # module, server ports will NOT be bound! #
143 # PLEASE NOTE: If you have build InspIRCd with IPv6 support, you MUST #
144 # specify a bind address if you want the IRCd to bind to a IPv4 IP. #
147 # address: IP address to bind to if the box that you are hosting
148 # on has more than one IP, else the ircd will try to bind to all
149 # IP's on the box if this is not defined.
152 # port: Port for users or servers to be able to connect to.
153 # you can select multiple ports by separating them
154 # with a - character like the example below.
157 # type: Type of bind block this is. It can either be clients or
158 # servers. Whichever you select will be the only type able to connect
159 # to this bind section.
162 # ssl: If you want this bind section to use SSL, define either

218 #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- CONNECTIONS CONFIGURATION -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#
220 # This is where you can configure which connections are allowed #
221 # and denied access onto your server. The password is optional. #
222 # You may have as many of these as you require. To allow/deny all #
223 # connections, use a '*' or 0.0.0.0/0. #
225 # -- It is important to note that connect tags are read from the -- #
226 # TOP DOWN. This means that you should have more specific deny #
227 # and allow tags at the top, progressively more general, followed #
228 # by a <connect allow="*" (should you wish to have one). #
230 # Connect blocks are searched twice for each user - once when the TCP #
231 # connection is accepted, and once when the user completes their #
232 # registration. Most of the information (hostname, ident response, #
233 # password, SSL when using STARTTLS, etc) is only available during #
234 # the second search, so if you are trying to make a closed server, #
235 # you will probably need a connect block just for user registration. #
236 # This can be done by using <connect registered="no"> #
239 # deny: Will not let people connect if they have specified host/IP.
242 # connect:reason is the message that users will see if they match a deny block
243 <connect deny="3ffe::0/32" reason="The 6bone address space is deprecated">
246 # name: Name to use for this connect block. Mainly used for
247 # connect class inheriting.
250 # parent: This setting is to specify if this connect class
251 # inherits settings from any other. Put the other class's name
252 # in here to use its settings as a template - for example, if
253 # you only want to adjust sendq and a password
256 # allow: What IP addresses/hosts to allow for this block.
259 # hash: what hash this password is hashed with. requires the module
260 # for selected hash (m_md5.so, m_sha256.so or m_ripemd160.so) be
261 # loaded and the password hashing module (m_password_hash.so)
262 # loaded. Options here are: "md5", "sha256" and "ripemd160".
263 # Optional, but recommended. Create hashed password with:
264 # /mkpasswd <hash> <password>
267 # password: Password to use for this block/user(s)
270 # maxchans: Maximum number of channels a user in this class
271 # be in at one time. This overrides every other maxchans setting.
274 # timeout: How long (in seconds) the server will wait before

277 # send /nick, /user or /pass)
280 # localmax: Maximum local connections per IP (or CIDR mask, see below).
283 # globalmax: Maximum global (network-wide) connections per IP (or CIDR mask, see below).
286 # maxconnwarn: Enable warnings when localmax or globalmax is hit (defaults to on)
289 # nouserdns: If enabled, no DNS lookups will be performed on connecting users
290 # in this class. This can save a lot of resources on very busy servers.
293 # usednsbl: Defines whether or not users in this class are subject to DNSBL. Default is yes.
294 # This setting only has effect when m_dnsbl is loaded.
297 # useident: Defines if users in this class MUST respond to a ident query or not.
300 # limit: How many users are allowed in this class
303 # modes: Usermodes that are set on users in this block on connect.
304 # Enabling this option requires that the m_conn_umodes module be loaded.
305 # This entry is highly recommended to use for/with IP Cloaking/masking.
306 # For the example to work, this also requires that the m_cloaking
307 # module be loaded as well.
310 # requireident, requiressl, requireaccount: require that users of this
311 # block have a valid ident response, use SSL, or have authenticated.
312 # Requires m_ident, m_sslinfo, or m_services_account respectively.
314 # NOTE: For requireaccount, you must complete the signon prior to full
315 # connection. Currently, this is only possible by using SASL
316 # authentication; passforward and PRIVMSG NickServ happen after

329 allowmotdcolors="false"
331 # port: What port this user is allowed to connect on. (optional)
332 # The port MUST be set to listen in the bind blocks above.
336 # name: Name to use for this connect block. Mainly used for

347 # timeout: How long (in seconds) the server will wait before
348 # disconnecting a user if they do not do anything on connect.
349 # (Note, this is a client-side thing, if the client does not
350 # send /nick, /user or /pass)
353 # pingfreq: How often (in seconds) the server tries to ping connecting clients.
356 # hardsendq: maximum amount of data allowed in a client's send queue
357 # before they are dropped. Keep this value higher than the length of
358 # your network's /LIST or /WHO output, or you will have lots of
359 # disconnects from sendq overruns!
362 # softsendq: amount of data in a client's send queue before the server
363 # begins delaying their commands in order to allow the sendq to drain
366 # recvq: amount of data allowed in a client's queue before they are dropped.
369 # threshold: This specifies the amount of command penalty a user is allowed to have
370 # before being quit or fakelagged due to flood. Normal commands have a penalty of 1,
371 # ones such as /OPER have penalties up to 10.
373 # If you are not using fakelag, this should be at least 20 to avoid excess flood kills
374 # from processing some commands.
377 # commandrate: This specifies the maximum rate that commands can be processed.
378 # If commands are sent more rapidly, the user's penalty will increase and they will
379 # either be fakelagged or killed when they reach the threshold
381 # Units are millicommands per second, so 1000 means one line per second.
384 # fakelag: Use fakelag instead of killing users for excessive flood
386 # Fake lag stops command processing for a user when a flood is detected rather than
387 # immediately killing them; their commands are held in the recvq and processed later
388 # as the user's command penalty drops. Note that if this is enabled, flooders will
389 # quit with "RecvQ exceeded" rather than "Excess Flood".
392 # localmax: Maximum local connections per IP.
395 # globalmax: Maximum global (network-wide) connections per IP.
398 # nouserdns: If enabled, no DNS lookups will be performed on connecting users
399 # in this class. This can save a lot of resources on very busy servers.
402 # useident: Defines if users in this class must respond to a ident query or not.
405 # limit: How many users are allowed in this class

654 # somaxconn: The maximum number of connections that may be waiting
655 # in the accept queue. This is *NOT* the total maximum number of
656 # connections per server. Some systems may only allow this to be up
657 # to 5, while others (such as linux and *BSD) default to 128.
658 # Setting this above the limit imposed by your OS can have undesired
662 # softlimit: This optional feature allows a defined softlimit for
663 # connections. If defined, it sets a soft max connections value.
666 # clonesonconnect: If this is set to false, we won't check for clones
667 # on initial connection, but only after the DNS check is done.
668 # This can be useful where your main class is more restrictive
669 # than some other class a user can be assigned after DNS lookup is complete.

675 # quietbursts: When syncing or splitting from a network, a server
676 # can generate a lot of connect and quit messages to opers with
677 # +C and +Q snomasks. Setting this to yes squelches those messages,
678 # which makes it easier for opers, but degrades the functionality of

709 # be flattened when shown to non-opers.
712 # hidewhois: When defined, the given text will be used in place
713 # of the server a user is on when whoised by a non-oper. Most
714 # networks will want to set this to something like "*.netname.net"

771 #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# LIMITS CONFIGURATION #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#
773 # This configuration tag defines the maximum sizes of various types #
774 # on IRC, such as the maximum length of a channel name, and the #
775 # maximum length of a channel. Note that with the exception of the #
776 # identmax value all values given here are the exact values you would #
777 # expect to see on IRC. This contrasts with the older InspIRCd #
778 # releases where these values would be one character shorter than #
779 # defined to account for a null terminator on the end of the text. #
781 # These values should match network-wide otherwise issues will occur. #
783 # The highest safe value you can set any of these options to is 500, #
784 # but it is recommended that you keep them somewhat #
785 # near their defaults (or lower). #
788 # maxnick: Maximum length of a nickname.
791 # maxchan: Maximum length of a channel name.
794 # maxmodes: Maximum number of mode changes per line.
797 # maxident: Maximum length of a ident/username.
800 # maxquit: Maximum length of a quit message.
803 # maxtopic: Maximum length of a channel topic.
806 # maxkick: Maximum length of a kick message.
809 # maxgecos: Maximum length of a GECOS (realname).

820 # Logging is covered with the <log> tag, which you may use to change
821 # the behaviour of the logging of the IRCd.
823 # In InspIRCd as of 1.2, logging is pluggable and very extensible.
824 # Different files can log the same thing, different 'types' of log can
825 # go to different places, and modules can even extend the log tag
826 # to do what they want.
828 # An example log tag would be:
829 # <log method="file" type="OPER" level="default" target="opers.log">
830 # which would log all information on /oper (failed and successful) to
831 # a file called opers.log.
833 # There are many different types which may be used, and modules may
834 # generate their own. A list of useful types:
835 # - USERS - information relating to user connection and disconnection
836 # - OPER - succesful and failed oper attempts
837 # - KILL - kill related messages
838 # - snomask - server notices (*all* snomasks will be logged)
839 # - FILTER - messages related to filter matches (m_filter)
840 # - CONFIG - configuration related messages
841 # - COMMAND - die and restart messages, and messages related to unknown user types
842 # - SOCKET - socket engine informational/error messages
843 # - MODULE - module related messages
844 # - STARTUP - messages related to starting up the server
846 # You may also log *everything* by using a type of *, and subtract things out
847 # of that by using -TYPE - for example "* -USERINPUT -USEROUTPUT".
850 # - default (general messages, including errors)
851 # - sparse (misc error messages)
852 # - debug (debug messages)
854 # Some types only produce output in the debug level, those are:
855 # - BANCACHE - ban cache debug messages
856 # - CHANNELS - information relating to joining/creating channels
857 # - CULLLIST - debug messages related to issues with removing users
858 # - RESOLVER - DNS related debug messages
859 # - CONNECTCLASS - Connection class debug messages
863 # The following log tag is highly default and uncustomised. It is recommended you
864 # sort out your own log tags. This is just here so you get some output.
