Revision as of 10:29, 8 January 2009

This document is intended to document features supported by ircd-darenet. NOTE: THE NAMES OF THESE FEATURES ARE CASE SENSITIVE! Values are not case sensitive unless otherwise noted in the documetation for that specific feature. And, although logging is also configuried through F-lines, it is documented in doc/readme.log.

In This Guide:

DOMAINNAME

  • Type: string
  • Default: ircd.darenet

This option allows you to specify what you consider to be "local." It is only used for statisyical purposes. When the IRC command /STATS w is issued, the server will respond with statistics of how many clients have been connecting to the server in the last minute, hour and day. It will give these statistics for all connections (including the servers), all clients (from anywhere) and also for clients whose hostname ends on the domain you specify here.

So if you are an ISP and you want to know what the client load from your own domain is, specify that domain here. If you are unsure what to do, then it isn't really important what you give here, just don't give an empty string. A good guess is the last two parts of your own hostname (i.e., if your hostname is foo.bar.nowhere.org, specify "nowhere.org"). Note that the string you give should NOT start with a "." and you should not use quotes.

RELIABLE_CLOCK

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: FALSE

You should really ONLY specify "TRUE" here when your system clock is stable and accurate at all times (within a few seconds). If you are running ntpdate on a regular basis, or an equivalent like xntpd, to keep your system clock synchronized over the network, then you might have an accurate clock. However, this is not guaranteed; for example, it is known that xntpd gives unstable results on Linux in some cases.

Note that an unstable clock is worse then an clock that has a constant offset, because the servers attempt to correct for a constant offset, but do not correct jumps of your system clock! In general you SHOULD be running ntpdate or equivalent AND make sure it works when you run a production server on DareNET. Otherwise leave your clock alone and specify "FALSE" here. If unsure specify "FALSE"!

BUFFERPOOL

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 27000000

This specifies the maximum amount of RAM that your server will allocate for buffering sendQs. Small leafs can use a value as little as 1000000, while large HUBs need to specify a value as high as 20000000. If you run out of memory, clients and/or servers are dropped with the error "Buffer allocation error"; then you will have to increase this number (and install more RAM if appropriate).

If you want a more educated guess for this value then realize that any valueis good if you _really_ would rather drop servers and clients than allocate more memory; this will be the case when there is the danger you may run out of memory for other allocations. Even if you run the daemon on a dedicated machine, specifying all of the RAM you have is a bad thing, because running out of memory is a lot worse than dropping clients in a controlled way; if possible you should have memory left for all the internal structures (channels, clients, ban lists, receive buffers) at all times.

On average, clients seem to use 150 bytes of sendQ, but at peak moments this can easily increase to 2032 bytes per client (sendQs are allocated in chunks of 2032 bytes). The maximum possible amount that can be allocated for sendQs is the number of connected clients times whatever you specified as the maximum sendQ in your Y: lines in the ircd.conf file. That value will likely be larger then the amount of RAM you have. The educated guess I talked about earlier would be "number of clients" times * 2048 bytes + "size of net.burst" * n, where "n" is 1 for leafs and up to 5 for HUBs. The "size of net.burst" is about 125 bytes per online client (on the whole network). For large HUBs with 4000 clients on a network with 30,000 users, this results in 27 Mb. Leafs could use 12 Mb. Of course you can use less when you have less than 4000 local clients. This value is in bytes.

HAS_FERGUSON_FLUSHER

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: FALSE

If you have a server with a lot of resources available, this option will cause the server to attempt to flush its internal buffers before dropping clients during a net break. Don't define this if you don't know for certain; if you're not careful this can end up rebooting FreeBSD boxes. For more information, refer to freebsd.txt, also in this directory.

CLIENT_FLOOD

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 1024

Currently, everything that a client sends to a server is read by the server and stored in a buffer (the clients receive queue). The server will process messages from this queue one by one (running over all clients each time). When a client sends new messages faster they get processed, and the size of its receive buffer reaches this value, the client is dropped with the error "Excess flood." A reasonable value is 1024 bytes. The maximum size is 8000 bytes.

SERVER_PORT

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 7325

When an IRC operator attempts a connect to another server, he or she may not know which port the connect should go to. In this server version, that operator may use the special port 0, in which case the server will take the port from the C-line. If no port is specified in the C-line, however, the port specified by this option will be used instead.

NODEFAULTMOTD

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: TRUE

Every time a client connects to your server, the full Message of the Day (as specified by the T-lines or by the file specified by the MPATH option) is sent to the client. The server sends the Message of the Day even though many clients permit the user to ignore it. Many users never read the message of the day anyway, making it a huge waste of bandwidth. If you specify "TRUE" here, then the server won't send the MOTD to the client by default; instead, it will only tell the client when the MOTD was last changed, and give instructions on how to obtain it by typing /MOTD.

MOTD_BANNER

  • Type: string
  • Default: NULL

If you enable NODEFAULTMOTD, this specifies a one-line banner to be sent to the client in addition to the instructions mentioned above.

REMOTE_MOTD

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: FALSE

Controls the use of remote message of the day's.

PROVIDER

  • Type: string
  • Default: NULL

This string is added to the 001 numeric prefixed with "via" before the nick. It's used for providing promotional space to providers.

GEO_LOCATION

  • Type: string
  • Default: NULL

This string as added to the 003 numeric. It's used for providing the location of the server, eg "Staunton, MI, United States."

KILL_IPMISMATCH

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: FALSE

When a client connects to your server, the IP address of the client is reverse-resolved to obtain a hostname. Then that hostname is resolved to an IP address and compared with the IP address of the client. If they don't match, the client will appear with the IP address instead of the hostname, unless KILL_IPMISMATCH is "TRUE," in which case the client is simply disconnected.

IDLE_FROM_MSG

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: TRUE

The IRC command WHOIS gives an idle time for clients. If you want this idle time to be set to zero only when the client sends a PRIVMSG, then you should specify "TRUE" here. If you specify "FALSE," then the idle time will be nullified on all messages except the server PING/PONG.

HUB

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: FALSE

All servers of an IRC "network" are connected in a "tree" (no loops). Servers that are only connected to one other server (called the "uplink") are called "leafs"; servers that are connected to more than one other server are called HUBs. If you specify "FALSE" here then your server will prevent itself from accidentally connecting to two servers at once, thus keeping servers in poor network locations from routing traffic. Note that on DareNET, all newly linked servers are linked as leafs during their test phase, and should specify "FALSE" here.

WALLOPS_OPER_ONLY

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: FALSE

Setting this option removes the ability for clients that are not IRC operators to see wallops messages.

NODNS

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: FALSE

If you are playing with the server off-line, and no DNS is available, then long delays occur before the server starts up because it tries to resolve the name given on the M-line (which usually isn't given in /etc/hosts) and for each connecting client. If you specify "TRUE" here, then a call to gethostbyname() will be done only for the real hostname, and the server will not try to resolve clients that connect to "localhost."

Note that other calls to gethostbyname() are still done if you use VIRTUAL_HOST; also note that the server still tries to resolve clients that connect to the real IP address of the server.

RANDOM_SEED

  • Type: string
  • Default: none

When a client connects, the server sends the client a "cookie," consisting of a random number. The client must return the cookie to the server verbatim. This is done to prevent IP spoofing. The cookie is generated by a pseudorandom number generator included in ircd. This generator must be seeded with a phrase that is kept secret, to ensure that the numbers it generates are not easily guessed.

The value given to RANDOM_SEED may be a string of any length.It should not contain any characters that are considered special by the configuration file system, such as ":" or "#"; the string should be at least 8 characters long, but longer strings are better. The RANDOM_SEED may not be retrieved online.

DEFAULT_LIST_PARAM

  • Type: string
  • Default: none

The LIST command takes a single optional argument. If given, that argument is either a channel or a filter. If that argument is not given, then by default, /LIST will list all channels on the network. Needless to say, this can generate a large amount of data on large networks with many channels, as well as chewing up a lot of CPU time. Server administrators can therefore set a default filter to be applied to the channel list if the optional argument to LIST is omitted.

NICKNAMEHISTORYLENGTH

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 800

This value specifies the length of the nick name history list, which is used for /WHOWAS and some nickname chasing in /KILL and /KICK. It uses about 300 to 400 bytes per entry. Note that at a net break, so many clients disappear that the whole "whowas" list is refreshed a few times (unless you make it rather large). A reasonable value is "total number of clients" / 25.

HOST_HIDING

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: TRUE

This selects whether local users can set umode +x, thus allowing them to hide their hostname if they have also registered and authenticated with a NickServ (i.e. they have the ACCOUNT flag set).

OPERHOST_HIDING

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: TRUE

When TRUE any oper setting +x will get the hidden host set via HIDDEN_OPERHOST instead of the host set in HIDDEN_HOST.

HOST_HIDING_STYLE

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 1

Value 1 will uses ircu-style hostmasking. Value 2 uses Ultimate IRCd style hostmangling, such as a43sd.a3523f.isp.tld.

HIDDEN_HOST

  • Type: string
  • Default: user.darenet

This selects the suffix for the hidden hostmask (see HOST_HIDING).

HOST_HIDING_PREFIX

  • Type: string
  • Default: DareNET

This selects the suffix for the hidden hostmask style 2.

HIDDEN_OPERHOST

  • Type: string
  • Default: staff.darenet

This selects the suffix for the hidden hostmask for IRC Operators (see OPERHOST_HIDING).

HIDDEN_IP

  • Type: string
  • Default: 127.0.0.1

This selects a fake IP to be shown on /USERIP and /WHO %i when the target has a hidden host (see HOST_HIDING).

CONNEXIT_NOTICES

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: TRUE

This feature controls the generation of server notices when a user connects to or disconnects from the server. Enabling this feature may have a performance impact. If using this features make sure you take a look at snomask.html in this directory.

EXTENDED_ACCOUNTS

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: TRUE

This enables 'extended' style AC syntax (used by your service to set the account name.) TRUE uses the subcommand paramiter R,M,U,C,A,D to do LOC, rename and removal. FALSE uses old style. Set this to TRUE if you linking to DareNET / using services-darenet, FALSE for other services.

LOGIN_ON_CONNECT

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: TRUE

This selects whether local clients can specify a service bot login in the connection phase. Read doc/readme.login-on-connect for details.

DNSBL_LOC_EXEMPT

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: TRUE

This allows a user who has successfully authed to a service using login on connect (above) to bypass a DNSBL rejection if they get a positive result from the earlier check.

DNSBL_LOC_EXEMPT_N_ONE

  • Type: string
  • Default: If you have an account with DareNET's NickServ then you can bypass the DNSBL ban by logging in like this (where Account is your account name and Password is your password):

If DNSBL_LOC_EXEMPT is enabled and a user matches a dnsbl then they will be sent a notice containing the string for this feature.

DNSBL_LOC_EXEMPT_N_TWO

  • Type: string
  • Default: Type \002/QUOTE PASS NickServ Account :Password\002 to connect

If DNSBL_LOC_EXEMPT is enabled and a user matches a dnsbl then they will be sent a notice containing the string for this feature.

DNSBL_WALLOPS_ONLY

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: FALSE

If enabled DNSBL filter matches will be alerted to opers via wallops.

DNSBL_MARK_FAKEHOST

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: TRUE

If enabled then users who match DNSBL's will be marked.

LOC_DEFAULT_SERVICE

  • type: string
  • Default: NickServ

This is what nick on IRC the login-on-connect account verification is sent to. Users can override it (to any service that supports it) using 3 param LOC.

DEFAULT_UMODE

  • Type: string
  • Default: "+iB"

This defines the user modes set when a local user connects. +x should not be included in this setting if using host hiding style 1, since users cannot later remove that flag. Note, on DareNET umode +B is actually only given to those matching the bot class.

KILLCHASETIMELIMIT

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 30

If a user changes his or her nickname just before an operator issues a /KILL, the /KILL will be changed to follow the user the operator intended to get. This option specifies the time limit, in seconds, for this nickname change; if the user changed his or her nickname more than this many seconds ago, the /KILL will not be changed. Don't change this unless you really need to.

MAXCHANNELSPERUSER

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 10

This is the maximum number of channels a user can be in at a time. The "mandatory" value on DareNET is currently 10. Since it only influences the local server when you decrease it, its up to you to decide if you want to use a smaller value. Do not use a larger value however, because it DOES cost more memory and bandwidth on all other servers when you allow users to join more channels simultaneously.

One of the most important reasons to choose a smaller value is the fact that the "GUI" clients tend to stay on every channel they join (they aren't bothered by flooding in other channels). It DOES take your bandwidth however to send all those messages for 10 different channels to all your users.

AVEXCEPTLEN

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 40

This is the expected average except mask length. Leave it at 40.

MAXEXCEPTS

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 100

This is the maximum number of excepts a user may set on a given channel.

CHANNELLEN

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 200

This is the allowed length of locally created channels. It may not be larger than the CHANNELLEN #define. Like the NICKLEN feature, this is intended to ease changes in channel name length across a network.

AVBANLEN

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 40

This is the expected average ban mask length. Leave it at 40.

MAXBANS

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 100

This is the maximum number of bans a user may set on a given channel.

MAXSILES

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 15

This is the maximum number of masks a user can silence at a time. The silence command allows users to filter messages directed at them from certain users or domains, at the source server. Increasing this number allows users to use up more memory with inefficient use of the command. If you're not sure, don't change this.

HALFOPS

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: TRUE

This controls the use of half ops (+h). The server will still accept half ops from other servers if its set to FALSE (to prevent desyncs) just not from users.

HANGONGOODLINK

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 300

Ocassionally the net breaks for a short time and it is useful to try to reestablish the same connection faster than CONNECTFREQUENCY would allow, but to keep from trying again on a bad connection, we require that the connection be open for a certain minimum time. The recommended value is 300 seconds.

HANGONRETRYDELAY

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 10

When attempting to quickly reestablish a connection to a good link, we give the net a few seconds to calm down. This time must be long enough for the other end to also notice that the connection is broken. The recommended value is 10 seconds.

CONNECTTIMEOUT

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 90

Number of seconds to wait for a connect(2) call to complete.

NOTE: this must be at *LEAST* 10. When a client connects, it has CONNECTTIMEOUT - 10 seconds for its host to respond to an ident lookup query and for a DNS lookup to complete. It is recommended that you not change this value, but if you do, consider the fact that users whose clients do not support NOSPOOF will have to type /QUOTE PING <big number> before registration.

TIMESEC

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 60

This is the maximum idle time for the server. If no messages are received in TIMESEC seconds, PINGFREQUENCY and CONNECTFREQUENCY are checked. Recommended value is 60 seconds.

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 1

This is the maximum number of links for the built-in client class 0. Leave this value at 1.

PINGFREQUENCY

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 120

If the daemon doesn't receive anything from any of its links within PINGFREQUENCY seconds, then the it will attempt to check for an active link with a PING message. If no reply is received within (PINGFREQUENCY * 2) seconds, then the connection will be closed. This value may be overridden by a Y-line in "ircd.conf" if the connection's I- or C-line in "ircd.conf" assigns a specific class to the connection (recommended).

CONNECTFREQUENCY

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 600

This is the default frequency that the server attempts to reconnect with its uplink server if it is set to auto connect to it. Note that this value is overridden by a Y-line in ircd.conf if the C-lines in ircd.conf assign a specific class to the connection (recommended).

DEFAULTMAXSENDQLENGTH

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 40000

This is the default value of the maximum sendQ length of Y-line classes (see doc/example.conf for details on Y-lines). You will probably always override this value in your "ircd.conf" with the Y-lines. The given value used to be an often used value for client sendQs.

GLINEMAXUSERCOUNT

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 20

G-lines that affect too many users have to be set with a special command, to prevent accidental G-lines of large blocks of users. This feature sets that particular threshold.

NOTE: This should not be used on DareNET. It has been deprecated, and will be removed from the next version of ircd-darenet.

RPATH

  • Type: string
  • Default: "ircd.motd"

RPATH is the filename (relative to DPATH) or the full path of the "Remote Message of the Day" file. The contents of this file will be sent to every remote client that issues a /MOTD <your server name>. Only the first three lines are sent, so you might want to keep that in mind while writing the file.

PPATH

  • Type: string
  • Default: "ircd.pid"

PPATH is the filename (relative to DPATH) or the full path of the "PID" file. It is used for storing the server's process ID so that a ps(1) isn't necessary.

TPATH

  • Type: string
  • Default: "ircd.tune"

TPATH is the filename (relative to DPATH) or the full path of the tune data file. The file contains user count information for LUSERS so that if the server has to restart etc for any reason they will not loose their max local/global user counts.

VIRTUAL_HOST

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: TRUE

This option is only needed when you wish to run multiple IRC servers on the same machine, and they must share at least one port. This will require having multiple IP addresses for the machine that will be hosting the servers. If you specify "TRUE" here, you can cause the server to bind to one of these IP addresses.

NICKLEN

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 30

This is the allowed length of the nickname length. It may not be larger than the NICKLEN #define, and should usually be the same length. The real purpose of this feature is to permit easy increases in nickname length for a network.

AUTH_TIMEOUT

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 9

This is the maximum number of seconds to wait for the ident lookup and the DNS query to succeed. On older (pre 2.10.11.06) servers this was hard coded to 60 seconds.

The number of seconds you are allowed to connect IPCHECK_CLONE_LIMIT times within before you are considered abusing the server and throttled.

For instance if you set IPCHECK_CLONE_LIMIT to 1, and IPCHECK_CLONE_PERIOD to 10, then a user is only allowed to connect once in 10s, if they connect again within 10s, then they are considered to be connecting too fast and they are throttled.

IPCHECK_CLONE_DELAY

  • Type: integer
  • Default: 600

The number of seconds grace after restarting the server before the throttle code kicks in. Even if a user connects repetitively during this period, they will never get throttled.
