1 | ShadowIRCd FAQ |
2 | -------------- | |

4 | Q: Why does ShadowIRCd not have remote includes? | |
5 | A: Remote Includes are a possible security risk due to possible MITM attacks | |
6 | and such and do not prevent server owners making changes that you do not | |
7 | want them to so they have little point. It is recommended to use rsync or | |
8 | a git/hg cron job to pull in remote configuration files. | |

10 | Q: Does ShadowIRCd support Windows? | |
11 | A: No. There is no point in running IRCd on windows, aside perhaps as a quick | |
12 | testnet. If you feel like doing it anyway, the best thing to try would be | |
13 | some form of VM. We've heard that it doesn't compile on cygwin. We also | |
14 | have no interest in supporting windows in the future. If you're looking | |
15 | to start up an IRC network, you should really look into buying a VPS or | |
16 | shell from a decent provider. | |

18 | Q: I want shun, m_invisible, unreal-style m_spy, saquit, etc! | |
19 | A: ShadowIRCd does not intend to ever implement such features. They have | |
20 | little to no legitimate use, amazing abuse potential, and are inferior to | |
21 | other methods. If for some reason you cannot live without such features, | |
22 | you should probably use another ircd. | |

24 | Q: What services should I run with ShadowIRCd? | |
25 | A: The ShadowIRCd team highly recommends Atheme IRC Services (www.atheme.net), | |
26 | which is known to support ShadowIRCd properly and is a great services | |
27 | package overall. ShadowIRCd may work with Anope 1.8.x using the charybdis | |
28 | protocol module and 1.9.x using the ratbox protocol module, but it is not | |
29 | recommended and it has not been tested by the ShadowIRCd developers. | |
