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

214 # This is where you can configure which connections are allowed #
215 # and denied access onto your server. The password is optional. #
216 # You may have as many of these as you require. To allow/deny all #
217 # connections, use a '*' or 0.0.0.0/0. #
219 # -- It is important to note that connect tags are read from the -- #
220 # TOP DOWN. This means that you should have more specific deny #
221 # and allow tags at the top, progressively more general, followed #
222 # by a <connect allow="*" (should you wish to have one). #
224 # Connect blocks are searched twice for each user - once when the TCP #
225 # connection is accepted, and once when the user completes their #
226 # registration. Most of the information (hostname, ident response, #
227 # password, SSL when using STARTTLS, etc) is only available during #
228 # the second search, so if you are trying to make a closed server, #
229 # you will probably need a connect block just for user registration. #
230 # This can be done by using <connect registered="no"> #
233 # deny: Will not let people connect if they have specified host/IP.
236 # connect:reason is the message that users will see if they match a deny block
237 <connect deny="3ffe::0/32" reason="The 6bone address space is deprecated">
240 # name: Name to use for this connect block. Mainly used for

255 # loaded and the password hashing module (m_password_hash.so)
256 # loaded. Options here are: "md5", "sha256" and "ripemd160".
257 # Optional, but recommended. Create hashed passwords with:

304 # requireident, requiressl, requireaccount: require that users of this
305 # block have a valid ident response, use SSL, or have authenticated.
306 # Requires m_ident, m_sslinfo, or m_services_account respectively.

350 # hardsendq: maximum amount of data allowed in a client's send queue

358 # begins delaying their commands in order to allow the sendq to drain
361 # recvq: amount of data allowed in a client's queue before they are dropped.
362 # Entering "8K" is equivalent to "8192", see above.
365 # threshold: This specifies the amount of command penalty a user is allowed to have
366 # before being quit or fakelagged due to flood. Normal commands have a penalty of 1,
367 # ones such as /OPER have penalties up to 10.
369 # If you are not using fakelag, this should be at least 20 to avoid excess flood kills
370 # from processing some commands.
373 # commandrate: This specifies the maximum rate that commands can be processed.
374 # If commands are sent more rapidly, the user's penalty will increase and they will
375 # either be fakelagged or killed when they reach the threshold
377 # Units are millicommands per second, so 1000 means one line per second.
380 # fakelag: Use fakelag instead of killing users for excessive flood
382 # Fake lag stops command processing for a user when a flood is detected rather than
383 # immediately killing them; their commands are held in the recvq and processed later
384 # as the user's command penalty drops. Note that if this is enabled, flooders will
385 # quit with "RecvQ exceeded" rather than "Excess Flood".
388 # localmax: Maximum local connections per IP.
391 # globalmax: Maximum global (network-wide) connections per IP.
394 # resolvehostnames: If disabled, no DNS lookups will be performed on connecting users
395 # in this class. This can save a lot of resources on very busy servers.

759 #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# LIMITS CONFIGURATION #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#
761 # This configuration tag defines the maximum sizes of various types #
762 # on IRC, such as the maximum length of a channel name, and the #
763 # maximum length of a channel. Note that with the exception of the #
764 # identmax value all values given here are the exact values you would #
765 # expect to see on IRC. This contrasts with the older InspIRCd #
766 # releases where these values would be one character shorter than #
767 # defined to account for a null terminator on the end of the text. #
769 # These values should match network-wide otherwise issues will occur. #
771 # The highest safe value you can set any of these options to is 500, #
772 # but it is recommended that you keep them somewhat #
773 # near their defaults (or lower). #
776 # maxnick: Maximum length of a nickname.
779 # maxchan: Maximum length of a channel name.
782 # maxmodes: Maximum number of mode changes per line.
785 # maxident: Maximum length of a ident/username.
788 # maxhost: Maximum length of a hostname.

808 # This configuration tag defines the location that InspIRCd stores #
809 # various types of files such as configuration files, log files and #
810 # modules. You will probably not need to change these from the values #
811 # set when InspIRCd was built unless you are using a binary package #
812 # where you do not have the ability to set build time configuration. #

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