If you forgot to set these, private messages may not appear in separate

C. MULTIPLE USERS AND IDENT ISSUES
|
||||
|
||||
When you host many connections to the same IRC network, you might have
|
||||
more connections than allowed by the network from one host.
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on the network and the services it runs, session limits may be
|
||||
enforced either matching only your ip address/hostname, or matching the
|
||||
username/ident part too.
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid being killed for session limit exceeded, you should define a
|
||||
default_username in each user {}; block. A user without default_username
|
||||
would appear as ~bip@yourhost if bip is the system user running bip. With
|
||||
a default_username set to "myuser", he would appear as ~myuser@yourhost,
|
||||
which may be sufficient for most networks.
|
||||
|
||||
If the network you're on is a bit more requiring, you can set up an
|
||||
oidentd server on your host, and (if not already) compile bip with
|
||||
oidentd spoofing support (--enable-oidentd option of the configure
|
||||
script). Let's say bip is the system user running bip, you should add to
|
||||
your /etc/oidentd.conf :
|
||||
|
||||
user "bip" {
|
||||
default {
|
||||
allow spoof_all
|
||||
allow spoof_privport
|
||||
allow spoof
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Then reload oidentd and make sure that ~bip is accessible (+rx) by the
|
||||
user running oidentd (which means most of the time ~bip should be world
|
||||
readable and browsable +rx).
|
||||
|
||||
If you already have a ~bip/.oidentd.conf file, don't worry, bip'll only
|
||||
add its entries without deleting any of the contents of the file.
|
||||
This step should remove the "~" character from the username/ident part of
|
||||
your ircmask, and thus satisfy some networks.
|
||||
|
||||
If the network is still killing you for session limit exceeded, you'll
|
||||
have to contact it's admins and ask them for an exception on your host or
|
||||
ip address.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Happy ircing!
