You may remember that was the plain-text password used for Attila in the nf example that we deleted. The value for the password is a sha256 hash of the word s3cret. Specifically, where did the password value come from and what does mean? The two things that require a little clarification are probably password and host. The above should be pretty self-explanatory based on the key=value pairs you see.

In keeping with the rest of the how-to, the operator will be named “beastie” and beastie will have full network admin privileges. # Remember to only make operators out of trustworthy people. When you're done, the nf file should end here: Delete everything after the section heading. Look them over to read the comments and then delete them. There are a couple examples given using the names Attila and Brain.
It's the OPERATOR CONFIGURATION section we're interested in. What you see under the headings of CLASS CONFIGURATION and OPERATOR COMPOSITION can be left as default. It's simply included for the sake of being complete.įor InspIRCd, the nf is where everything concerning this special ability is configured. You might be able to run IRC on a home LAN and never need any of the administrative privileges, so if you wish to skip this file, you can. Opers, or server operators, are the administrators of the IRC server and can invoke special privileges using the /OPER command. Typical home setups use 192.168.0.* and that is what is shown here.Īllow="192.168.0.*" Enabling Server Operators
This section should be deleted or at least have the IP range changed to your home LAN's range of addresses. There is a sample IP range of 203.0.113.* being allowed. This is not the same as setting it to no.Īs for the IP address range that needs changing, this is in the example class. They should look like this when you're done:ĭo not give into the temptation to comment the lines out. There are two resolvehostnames=“yes” entries that must be changed. If you see errors like “Could not resolve your hostname: Malformed answer” when logging in, it means the reverse lookups are not working. If you have a more robust DNS server on your network, you can certainly leave this as-is. Setting resolvehostnames=“no” will instruct InspIRCd to not even try, sparing you countless warning messages. Unless you are running a robust DNS infrastructure on your LAN, chances are good that your ISP's router (the typical home LAN DNS server) will not do reverse look-ups. The reason for changing resolvehostnames is entirely because of DNS as you might have guessed. The changes here involve changing resolvehostnames=“yes” to resolvehostnames=“no” and changing the IP address range in an example section. After commenting out the last two lines of PORT CONFIGURATION, so we can move on to CONNECTIONS CONFIGURATION.
