1srvx Frequently Asked Questions
2-------------------------------
3
4This FAQ assumes that your services are named NickServ, ChanServ and
5OpServ respectively.
6
7Q1) How do I set up srvx?
8A1) Read the README and INSTALL files, especially INSTALL.
9
10Q2) How do I set up my IRC server so srvx talks to it?
11A2) That depends on which IRC server you use. Check its
12documentation. #srvx WILL NOT SUPPORT YOUR IRCD QUESTIONS.
13
14Q3) I get "You must first authenticate with NickServ", help!
15A3) To register an account, /msg NickServ@services.example.com
16register YourName Password. You must be a global IRC operator to
17register the first account; srvx gives the first account "root" level
18(1000) access. To log in afterwards, use the "auth" command instead
19of "register".
20
21Q4) I do not like having to type "/msg NickServ@services.example.com"
22for all of my commands. How can I change that?
23A4) If you want to disable that for the auth command, use "/msg OpServ
24modcmd NickServ.auth flags -qualified". However, that is a BAD idea:
25if you have an auto-perform to log in, and you connect to some other
26IRC network, you will send your password to whoever or whatever is
27named NickServ on that network.
28
29Q5) When I try to register a channel with ChanServ, it tells me I have
30to have "security override" on. Why?
31A5-1) srvx's default configuration is to only allow network staff to
32register channels. For IRC operators and network helpers (users with
33account flag +H), security override can be enabled by sending "/msg
34ChanServ god on". For support helpers (users with account flag +h),
35security override is enabled when the user is in the configured
36support channel.
37A5-2) If you want to allow anyone to register channels, use "/msg
38OpServ modcmd ChanServ.register flags -helping".
39
40Q6) How do I enable HelpServ?
41A6) When you run the "configure" script, you must enable the helpserv
42module; for example, "./configure --enable-modules=helpserv". After
43you compile and start srvx with that option, "/msg OpServ bind OpServ
44helpserv *helpserv.helpserv". After that, you can use "/msg OpServ
45helpserv help" and "/msg OpServ helpserv register"; the "helpserv"
46command acts as a gateway into the HelpServ system.
47
48Q7) How do I enable MemoServ?
49A7) When you run the "configure" script, you must enable the MemoServ
50module; for example, "./configure --enable-modules=memoserv". Then
51see the comment near the start of src/mod-memoserv.c for configuration
52options.
