Services compatibility documentation ------------------------------------ Originally written by Lee Hardy for ircd-ratbox. Minor changes by Elizabeth Myers for modern services. Compatibility with services is always enabled. Supported services include atheme and anope. They add the following features to Charybdis: 1. Channel mode +r A simple mode taking no parameters, will require users are logged in with user services before they may join the channel. Gives numeric 477 to users who arent logged in: : 477 :Cannot join channel (+r) 2. service block to ircd.conf Ability to specify the names of services servers in ircd.conf: service { name = "services.charybdis.io"; name = "backup-services.charybdis.io"; }; These must be specified for certain features to work. You may specify as many name entries as you wish, however you must define only one service block. Entries will be listed in stats U with the flag 's'. 3. Services protection Services will be protected from being deopped or kicked from a channel. 4. Username tracking through netsplits When users are logged in, the username they are logged in with will be preserved on a netsplit, so users will not have to relogin when the network merges together. 5. Username given on WHOIS When users are logged in, WHOIS will also give numeric 330: : 330 :is logged in as 6. Forced nick change When using nickname services and a client requests they regain a nickname, services can perform a forced nick change on the client. This forcibly changes the clients nickname to the one they requested they regain, ensuring they can always regain their nickname. 7. User mode +R This user mode will require users are logged in with user services before they may send private messages or notices to the user. As with user mode +g, IRC operators and accepted users can send even if they are not logged in. Gives numeric 486 to users sending a PRIVMSG who are not logged in: : 486 :You must log in with services to message this user
