ShadowIRCd FAQ

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

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

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

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

Q: I've got two servers linked and users on one are getting constant flood notices
|
|
|
|
|
when trying to send to channels. HELP!!!!
|
|
|
|
|
A: Has your server's clock gone backwards massively recently? (probably due to it
|
|
|
|
|
being incorrect). If so, you have two options. You can either wait for the real
|
|
|
|
|
time to be what the incorrect time was, or you can restart the affected server.
|
|
|
|
|
If that does not fix the problem, please file a bug at:
