Overview

This document will help you become familiar with the Services used on our IRC Network. HobbyGab's Services from Epona (NickServ, ChanServ, BotServ, and MemoServ) are programs that allow users to register their nicknames, become owners of chat rooms (referred to as a "channel"), assign a helper bot to assist in channel operations, and store memo messages to a registered nickname.

Important Note: Please use caution when sending your passwords to services. We have several additional methods of identification to prevent "impersonators" from getting your passwords. These include:

· /nickserv identify (password)
· /ns identify (password)
· /chanserv identify (#channel) (password)
· /cs identify (#channel)(password)
· /identify (nickname) (password)
· /identify (#channel) (password)

HobbyGab's services documentation is also available by using the following IRC commands:
Nick Services: /msg NickServ HELP [command]
Channel Services: /msg ChanServ HELP [command]
Bot Services: /msg BotServ HELP [command]
Memo Services: /msg NickServ HELP [command]

Nickserv
Chanserv
Botserv
Memoserv

 

NickServ Introduction

Nick Services (NickServ) allows you to "register" a nickname and prevent others from using it. The following three methods are acceptable formats for sending commands to NickServ for registration and maintenance of nicknames;
· /msg nickserv (command)
. /ns (command)

NickServ's commands include:
HELP Display Command Syntax and Description on Available Commands
REGISTER Register a nickname
GROUP Join a group
IDENTIFY Identify yourself with your password
ACCESS Modify the list of authorized addresses
SET Set options, including kill protection
DROP Cancel the registration of a nickname (will drop #channels if nickname is registered as founder in ChanServ)
RECOVER Kill another user who has taken your nick
RELEASE Regain custody of your nick after RECOVER
SENDPASS Forgot your password? Try this
Other commands: GHOST, GLIST, INFO, LOGOUT, STATUS

NOTICE: This service is intended to provide a way for IRC users to ensure their identity is not compromised. It is NOT intended to facilitate "stealing" of nicknames or other malicious actions. Abuse of NickServ will result in, at minimum, loss of the abused nickname(s). Nicknames that are not used anymore are subject to the automatic expiration, i.e. they will be deleted after 21 days if not used.

Syntax: /msg NickServ REGISTER password [email]
Registers your nickname in the NickServ database. Once your nick is registered, you can use the SET and ACCESS commands to configure your nick's settings as you like them. Make sure you remember the password you use when registering - you'll need it to make changes to your nick later. (Note that case matters! EPONA, Epona, and epona are all different passwords!)
Guidelines on choosing passwords:
Passwords should not be easily guessable. For example, using your real name as a password is a bad idea. Using your nickname as a password is a much worse idea ;) and, in fact, NickServ will not allow it. Also, short passwords are vulnerable to trial-and-error searches, so you should choose a password at least 5 characters long. Finally, the space character cannot be used in passwords.

EMAIL
The parameter email is optional and will set the email for your nick immediately. However, it may be required on certain networks. Your privacy is respected; this e-mail won't be given to any third-party person.

IDENTIFY
Syntax: /msg NickServ IDENTIFY password
Tells NickServ that you are really the owner of this nick. Many commands require you to authenticate yourself with this command before you use them. The password should be the same one you sent with the REGISTER command.

ACCESS
Syntax: /msg NickServ ACCESS ADD mask
DEL mask
LIST
These command modifies or displays the access list for your nick. This is the list of addresses which will be automatically recognized by NickServ as allowed to use the nick. If you want to use the nick from a different address, you need to send an IDENTIFY command to make NickServ recognize you.

Examples:
/msg NickServ ACCESS ADD anyone@*.bepeg.com
Allows access to user anyone from any machine in the bepeg.com domain.

/msg NickServ ACCESS DEL anyone@*.bepeg.com
Reverses the previous command.

SET
Syntax: /Msg NickServ SET option parameters

Sets various nickname options. option can be one of the following:
DISPLAY Set the display of your group in Services
PASSWORD Set your nickname password
LANGUAGE Set the language Services will use when sending messages to you
URL Associate a URL with your nickname
EMAIL Associate an E-mail address with your nickname
ICQ Associate an ICQ number with your nickname
GREET Associate a greet message with your nickname
KILL Turn protection on or off
SECURE Turn nickname security on or off
PRIVATE Prevent your nickname from appearing in a /msg NickServ LIST
HIDE Hide certain pieces of nickname information
MSG Change the communication method of Services

In order to use this command, you must first identify with your password (/msg NickServ HELP IDENTIFY for more information). Type /msg NickServ HELP SET option for more information on a specific option.

DROP
Syntax: /msg NickServ DROP [nickname]
Drops your nickname from the NickServ database. A nick that has been dropped is free for anyone to re-register. You may drop a nick within your group by passing it as the nick parameter.
In order to use this command, you must first identify with your password (/msg NickServ HELP IDENTIFY for more information).

RECOVER
Syntax: /msg NickServ RECOVER nickname [password]
Allows you to recover your nickname if someone else has taken it; this does the same thing that NickServ does automatically if someone tries to use a kill-protected nick.
When you give this command, NickServ will bring a fake user online with the same nickname as the user you're trying to recover your nick from. This causes the IRC servers to disconnect the other user. This fake user will will remain online for one minute to ensure that the other user does not immediately reconnect; after that minute, you can reclaim your nick. Alternatively, use the RELEASE command (/msg NickServ HELP RELEASE) to get the nick back sooner.
In order to use the RECOVER command for a nick, your current address as shown in /WHOIS must be on that nick's access list, you must be identified and in the group of that nick, or you must supply the correct password for the nickname.

RELEASE
Syntax: /msg NickServ RELEASE nickname [password]
Instructs NickServ to remove any hold on your nickname caused by automatic kill protection or use of the RECOVER command. By default, such holds last for one minute; this command gets rid of them sooner.
In order to use the RELEASE command for a nick, your current address as shown in /WHOIS must be on that nick's access list, you must be identified and in the group of that nick, or you must supply the correct password for the nickname.

SENDPASS
Syntax: /msg NickServ SENDPASS nickname
Send the password of the given nickname to the e-mail address set in the nickname record. This command is really useful to deal with lost passwords. (May be limited to IRC operators on certain networks, and is unavailable when encryption is enabled.)

GHOST
Syntax: /msg NickServ GHOST nickname [password]
Terminates a "ghost" IRC session using your nick. A "ghost" session is one which is not actually connected, but which the IRC server believes is still online for one reason or another. Typically, this happens if your computer crashes or your Internet or modem connection goes down while you're on IRC.
In order to use the GHOST command for a nick, your current address as shown in /WHOIS must be on that nick's access list, you must be identified and in the group of that nick, or you must supply the correct password for the nickname.

GLIST
Syntax: /msg NickServ GLIST
Lists all nicks in your group.

INFO
Syntax: /msg NickServ INFO nickname [ALL]
Displays information about the given nickname, such as the nick's owner, last seen address and time, and nick options. If you are identified for the nick you're getting information for and ALL is specified, you will be shown all the information; regardless of whether it's hidden or not.

LOGOUT
Syntax: /msg NickServ LOGOUT
This reverses the effect of the IDENTIFY command, i.e. make you not recognized as the real owner of the nick anymore. Note, however, that you won't be asked to reidentify yourself.

STATUS
Syntax: /msg NickServ STATUS nickname...
Returns whether the user using the given nickname is recognized as the owner of the nickname. The response has this format:
nickname status-code
where nickname is the nickname sent with the command, and status-code is one of the following:
0 - no such user online or nickname not registered
1 - user not recognized as nickname's owner
2 - user recognized as owner via access list only
3 - user recognized as owner via password identification
Up to sixteen nicknames may be sent with each command; the rest will be ignored. No error message is generated if no nickname is given.

SET DISPLAY
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET DISPLAY new-display
Changes the display used to refer to your nickname group in Services. The new display MUST be a nick of your group.

SET PASSWORD
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET PASSWORD new-password
Changes the password used to identify you as the nick's owner.

SET LANGUAGE
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET LANGUAGE number
Changes the language Services uses when sending messages to you (for example, when responding to a command you send.) number should be chosen from the following list of supported languages:

1) English
2) Français (French)
3) Deutsch (German)
4) Português (Portuguese)
5) Español (Spanish)
6) Türkçe (Turkish)

SET URL
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET URL url
Associates the given URL with your nickname. This URL will be displayed whenever someone requests information on your nick with the INFO command.

SET EMAIL
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET EMAIL address
Associates the given E-mail address with your nickname. This address will be displayed whenever someone requests information on the channel with the INFO command.

SET ICQ
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET ICQ number
Associates the given ICQ number with your nickname. This number will be displayed whenever someone requests information on your nick with the INFO command.

SET GREET
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET GREET message
Makes the given message the greet of your nickname, that will be displayed when joining a channel that has GREET option enabled, provided that you have the necessary access on it.

SET KILL
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET KILL {ON | QUICK | IMMED | OFF}
Turns the automatic protection option for your nick on or off. With protection on, if another user tries to take your nick, they will be given one minute to change to another nick, after which NickServ will forcibly change their nick.
If you select QUICK, the user will be given only 20 seconds to change nicks instead of the usual 60. If you select IMMED, user's nick will be changed immediately without being warned first or given a chance to change their nick; please do not use this option unless necessary. Also, your network's administrators may have disabled this option.

SET SECURE
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET SECURE {ON | OFF}
Turns NickServ's security features on or off for your nick. With SECURE set, you must enter your password before you will be recognized as the owner of the nick, regardless of whether your address is on the access list. However, if you are on the access list, NickServ will not auto-kill you regardless of the setting of the KILL option.

SET PRIVATE
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET PRIVATE {ON | OFF}
Turns NickServ's privacy option on or off for your nick. With PRIVATE set, your nickname will not appear in nickname lists generated with NickServ's LIST command. (However, anyone who knows your nickname can still get information on it using the INFO command.)

SET HIDE
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET HIDE {EMAIL | USERMASK | QUIT} {ON | OFF}
Allows you to prevent certain pieces of information from being displayed when someone does a NickServ INFO on your nick. You can hide your E-mail address (EMAIL), last seen user@host mask (USERMASK), and last quit message (QUIT).
The second parameter specifies whether the information should be displayed (OFF) or hidden (ON).

SET MSG
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET MSG {ON | OFF}
Allows you to choose the way Services are communicating with you. With MSG set, Services will use messages, else they'll use notices.

ChanServ Introduction

Channel Services (ChanServ) allows you to register and control various aspects of channels. ChanServ can often prevent malicious users from "taking over" channels by limiting who is allowed channel operator privileges. The following three methods are acceptable formats for sending commands to ChanServ for registration and maintenance of channels;
· /msg chanserv (command)
. /cs (command)

ChanServ's commands include:
HELP Display Command Syntax and Description on Available Commands
REGISTER Register a channel
IDENTIFY Identify yourself with your password
SET Set channel options and information
ACCESS Modify the list of privileged users
LEVELS Redefine the meanings of access levels
AKICK Maintain the AutoKick list
DROP Cancel the registration of a channel
SENDPASS Help retrieve lost passwords
Other commands: CLEAR, DEOP, DEVOICE, GETKEY, INFO, INVITE, KICK, LIST, LOGOUT, OP, UNBAN, VOICE

These commands are also available on this network: HALFOP, DEHALFOP, PROTECT, DEPROTECT
Note that any channel which is not used for 14 days (i.e. which no user on the channel's access list enters for that period of time) will be automatically dropped.

REGISTER
Syntax: /msg ChanServ REGISTER channel password description
Registers a channel in the ChanServ database. In order to use this command, you must first be a channel operator on the channel you're trying to register. The password is used with the IDENTIFY command to allow others to make changes to the channel settings at a later time. The last parameter, which must be included, is a general description of the channel's purpose.
When you register a channel, you are recorded as the "founder" of the channel. The channel founder is allowed to change all of the channel settings for the channel; ChanServ will also automatically give the founder channel-operator privileges when s/he enters the channel.
See the ACCESS command (/msg ChanServ HELP ACCESS) for information on giving a subset of these privileges to other channel users.
Important! In order to register a channel, you must have first registered your nickname.
If you don't know what this means, read NickServ Register section for information on how to do so.

IDENTIFY
Syntax: /msg ChanServ IDENTIFY channel password
Authenticates you to ChanServ as the founder of the given channel. Many commands require you to use this command before using them. The password should be the same one you sent with the REGISTER command.

SET
Syntax: /msg ChanServ SET channel option parameters
Allows the channel founder to set various channel options and other information.
Available options:
FOUNDER Set the founder of a channel
SUCCESSOR Set the successor for a channel
PASSWORD Set the founder password
DESC Set the channel description
URL Associate a URL with the channel
EMAIL Associate an E-mail address with the channel
ENTRYMSG Set a message to be sent to users when they enter the channel
TOPIC Change the topic on the channel
BANTYPE Set how Services make bans on the channel
KEEPTOPIC Retain topic when channel is not in use
TOPICLOCK Topic can only be changed with SET TOPIC
MLOCK Lock channel modes on or off
PRIVATnE Hide channel from LIST command
RESTRICTED Restrict access to the channel
SECURE Activate ChanServ security features
SECUREOPS Stricter control of chanop status
SECUREFOUNDER Stricter control of channel founder status
SIGNKICK Sign kicks that are done with KICK command
OPNOTICE Send a notice when OP/DEOP commands are used

Type /msg ChanServ HELP option for more information on a particular option.

XOP
This system is a simpler way of assigning permanent operator priveledges. It consists of AOP (auto-op list), SOP (superop list), and VOP. Users must have AOP or SOP priveledges to op selves with the !op command.

Syntax: /cs AOP #channel ADD nickname
/cs SOP #channel ADD nickname

To get more related command help such as DEL and LIST, type /cs help aop
or /cs help sop


ACCESS
Syntax: /msg ChanServ ACCESS channel ADD nick level
DEL {nick | entry-num | list}
LIST [mask | list]
CLEAR

These commands maintain the access list for a channel. The access list specifies which users are allowed chanop status or access to ChanServ commands on the channel. Different user levels allow for access to different subsets of privileges; /msg ChanServ HELP ACCESS LEVELS for more specific information. Any nick not on the access list has a user level of 0.
The ACCESS ADD command adds the given nickname to the access list with the given user level; if the nick is already present on the list, its access level is changed to the level specified in the command. The level specified must be less than that of the user giving the command, and if the nick is already on the access list, the current access level of that nick must be less than the access level of the user giving the command.
The ACCESS DEL command removes the given nick from the access list. If a list of entry numbers is given, those entries are deleted. (See the example for LIST below.)
The ACCESS LIST command displays the access list. If a wildcard mask is given, only those entries matching the mask are displayed. If a list of entry numbers is given, only those entries are shown; for example:
ACCESS #channel LIST 2-5,7-9
Lists access entries numbered 2 through 5 and 7 through 9.
The ACCESS CLEAR command clears all entries of the access list.

LEVELS
Syntax: /msg ChanServ LEVELS channel SET type level
{DIS | DISABLE} type
LIST
RESET
The LEVELS command allows fine control over the meaning of the numeric access levels used for channels. With this command, you can define the access level required for most of ChanServ's functions. (The SET FOUNDER and SET PASSWORD commands, as well as this command, are always restricted to the channel founder.)
LEVELS SET allows the access level for a function or group of functions to be changed.
LEVELS DISABLE (or DIS for short) disables an automatic feature or disallows access to a function by anyone other than the channel founder.
LEVELS LIST shows the current levels for each function or group of functions.
LEVELS RESET resets the levels to the default levels of a newly-created channel (see HELP ACCESS LEVELS).
For a list of the features and functions whose levels can be set, see HELP LEVELS DESC.

AKICK
Syntax: /msg ChanServ AKICK channel ADD mask [reason]
DEL mask
LIST [mask]
VIEW [mask]
ENFORCE
CLEAR

These commands maintain the AutoKick list for a channel. If a user on the AutoKick list attempts to join the channel, ChanServ will ban that user from the channel, then kick the user.
The AKICK ADD command adds the given nick or usermask to the AutoKick list. If a reason is given with the command, that reason will be used when the user is kicked; if not, the default reason is "You have been banned from the channel".
The AKICK DEL command removes the given nick or mask from the AutoKick list. It does not, however, remove any bans placed by an AutoKick; those must be removed manually.
The AKICK LIST command displays the AutoKick list, or optionally only those AutoKick entries which match the given mask.
The AKICK VIEW command is a more verbose version of AKICK LIST command.
The AKICK ENFORCE command causes ChanServ to enforce the current AKICK list by removing those users who match an AKICK mask.
The AKICK CLEAR command clears all entries of the akick list.

DROP
Syntax: /msg ChanServ DROP channel
Unregisters the named channel. Can only be used by channel founder, who must use the IDENTIFY command first.

SENDPASS
Syntax: /msg ChanServ SENDPASS channel
Send the password of the given channel to the e-mail address set in the founder's nickname record. This command is really useful to deal with lost passwords.
May be limited to IRC operators on certain networks, and is unavailable when encryption is enabled.

CLEAR
Syntax: /msg ChanServ CLEAR channel what
Tells ChanServ to clear certain settings on a channel. what can be any of the following:
