Services

J3di Network Services

We use the following software to help keep the network both secure and easy to use:

Denora

Denora is an open-source statistics package. It doesn't do much on the network, but it does help create this pretty statistics sub-site :)

The only command available to users is /StatServ Stats (or /msg Denora Stats), which will give you a short  list of simple statistics.

Anope

Anope is another piece of open-source software. Anope provides the ubiquitous BotServ, ChanServ, NickServ, HostServ, MemoServ, etc, that many users of IRC will be familiar with.

Listed below are a few commands that many people ask about. We have written the short alias for each command; if your IRC client doesn't support "aliases", you can use /msg <service> <command ...> instead.

All of the network service bots will respond to requests for help; e.g. /cs help, /ns help set, /msg HostServ help request, etc. As you might have guessed, adding the command you want help with provides more in-depth help with that command.

  • BotServ — BotServ manages the various network bots. These bots perform the same actions as ChanServ in channels.
    • /bs botlist — Lists all the available bots. See network staff in #J3di if you would like a new bot to be created.
    • /bs assign <#chan> <botnick> — Assigns a bot to a channel
    • /bs unassign <#chan> — Removes a bot from a channel
  • ChanServ — Handles registration and access rights, such as auto-voice, auto-op, topic- and mode-locks, for channels.
    • /cs register <#chan> <password> <description ...> — Registers your channel, which allows you to use all the other ChanServ commands to manage your channel. You must be registered and identified with NickServ before you can register a channel.
    • /cs set <#chan> xop <on/off> — Enables or disables the "XOP" system, which simplifies the channel access levels into four lists. This is disabled by default.
    • /cs set <#chan>mlock <+modes> — Sets the mode lock for your channel. Some more advanced modes are not yet supported, but all the common ones, like +n, +t, +m, +s, etc, are supported.
    • /cs set <#chan> topiclock <on/off> — Enables or disables the topic lock in your channel. This prevents anyone, including the channel founder, from changing the topic using /topic. All changes have to be done using /cs set <#chan> topic <topic ...>. This setting is disabled by default.
  • NickServ — Handles nickname registration and settings.
    • /ns register <password> <email> — Registers your nickname. A valid email address is required to confirm your registration.
    • /ns identify <password> — Identifies you (logs you in) to NickServ for your nickname.
    • /ns group <targetnick> <password> — Groups your current nickname with the target nick. This avoids having multiple registrations for one user, and synchronises your ChanServ access rights, MemoServ memos, and HostServ vHosts accross all the nicknames in the group.
    • /ns set kill <on|quick|immed|off> — Sets how quickly, if at all, NickServ will force-change your nickname unless you are on the access list and/or identify with your password. On: 60 seconds, Quick: 20 seconds, Immed: immediately.
  • HostServ — Allows you to request a "vhost", which replaces your normal hostname with something of your choosing. By default, vhosts are automatically activated when you identify with NickServ.
    • /hs request <vhost> — Requests a vhost. Your vhost will then be sent to network staff for approval.
    • /hs on|off — Activates or deactivates your vhost.
    • /hs group — Syncs the vhosts for all nicks in your nick group.
