| | |
| == ACCESS ==
| |
| | |
| 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. Services Operators may provide a nick to modify other users' access lists.
| |
| | |
| Syntax:
| |
| ACCESS ADD [nickname] mask
| |
| ACCESS DEL [nickname] mask
| |
| ACCESS LIST [nickname]
| |
| | |
| | |
| Examples:
| |
| | |
| ACCESS ADD anyone@*.bepeg.com
| |
| Allows access to the user, anyone, from any machine in the bepeg.com domain.
| |
| | |
| ACCESS DEL anyone@*.bepeg.com
| |
| Reverses the previous command.
| |
| | |
| ACCESS LIST
| |
| Displays the current access list.
| |
| | |
| | |
| == AJOIN ==
| |
| Syntax:
| |
| AJOIN ADD [nickname] channel [key]
| |
| AJOIN DEL [nickname] channel
| |
| AJOIN LIST [nickname]
| |
|
| |
| This command manages your auto-join list. When you identify you will automatically join the channels on your auto-join list.
| |
| '''Services Operators may provide a nick to modify other users' auto-join lists.'''
| |
| | |
|
| |
| == ALIST ==
| |
| Syntax:
| |
| ALIST [nickname]
| |
| | |
| Lists all channels you have access to.
| |
| | |
| Channels that have the NOEXPIRE option set will be prefixed with an exclamation mark. The nickname parameter is limited to Services Operators
| |
| | |
| | |
| == CERT ==
| |
| Syntax:
| |
| CERT ADD [nickname] [fingerprint]
| |
| CERT DEL [nickname] [fingerprint]
| |
| CERT LIST [nickname]
| |
| | |
| Modifies or displays the certificate list for your nick.
| |
| If you connect to IRC and provide a client certificate with a matching fingerprint in the cert list, you will be automatically identified to services. Services Operators may provide a nick to modify other users' certificate lists.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Examples:
| |
| | |
| CERT ADD
| |
| Adds your current fingerprint to the certificate list and automatically identify you when you connect to IRC using this fingerprint.
| |
| | |
| CERT DEL <fingerprint>
| |
| Removes the fingerprint <fingerprint> from your certificate list.
| |
|
| |
| CERT LIST
| |
| Displays the current certificate list.
| |
| | |
| | |
| == CONFIRM ==
| |
| Syntax:
| |
| CONFIRM passcode
| |
| | |
| This command is used by several commands as a way to confirm changes made to your account.
| |
| | |
| This is most commonly used to confirm your email address once you register or change it.
| |
| | |
| This is also used after the RESETPASS command has been used to force identify you to your nick so you may change your password.
| |
| Additionally, Services Operators with the nickserv/confirm permission can replace passcode with a users nick to force validate them.
| |
| | |
| | |
| == DROP ==
| |
| Syntax:
| |
| DROP nickname
| |
| | |
| Drops the given nick from the database. Once your nickname is dropped you may lose all of your access and channels that you may own. Any other user will be able to gain control of
| |
| this nick.
| |
| '''As a Services Operator, you may drop any nick.'''
| |
| | |
| | |
| == GLIST ==
| |
| Syntax:
| |
| GLIST [nickname]
| |
| | |
| Without a parameter, lists all nicknames that are in your group.
| |
| | |
| With a parameter, lists all nicknames that are in the group of the given nick. Specifying a nick is limited to Services Operators.
| |
| | |
| | |
| == GROUP ==
| |
| Syntax:
| |
| GROUP [target] [password]
| |
| | |
| This command makes your nickname join the target nickname's group. The password is the password of the target nickname.
| |
| | |
| Joining a group will allow you to share your configuration, memos, and channel privileges with all the nicknames in the group, and much more!
| |
| | |
| A group exists as long as it is useful. This means that even if a nick of the group is dropped, you won't lose the shared things described above, as long as there is at least one nick remaining in the group.
| |
| | |
| You may be able to use this command even if you have not registered your nick yet. If your nick is already registered, you'll need to identify yourself before using this command.
| |
| | |
| It is recommended to use this command with a non-registered nick because it will be registered automatically when using this command. You may use it with a registered nick (to change your group) only if your network administrators allowed it.
| |
| | |
| You can only be in one group at a time. Group merging is not possible.
| |
| | |
| '''Note: all the nicknames of a group have the same password.'''
| |
| | |
| | |
| == IDENTIFY ==
| |
| Syntax:
| |
| IDENTIFY [account] 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.
| |
| | |
| | |
| == INFO ==
| |
| Syntax:
| |
| INFO [nickname]
| |
| | |
| Displays information about the given nickname, such as the nick's owner, last seen address and time, and nick options. If no nick is given, and you are identified, your account name is used, else your current nickname is used.
| |
| | |
| | |
| == LIST ==
| |
| Syntax:
| |
| LIST pattern [SUSPENDED] [NOEXPIRE] [UNCONFIRMED]
| |
| | |
| Lists all registered nicknames which match the given pattern, in nick!user@host format. Nicks with the PRIVATE option set will only be displayed to Services Operators with the proper access. Nicks with the NOEXPIRE option set will have a ! prefixed to the nickname for Services Operators to see.
| |
| | |
| '''Note that a preceding '#' specifies a range.'''
| |
| | |
| If the SUSPENDED, UNCONFIRMED, or NOEXPIRE options are given, only nicks which, respectively, are SUSPENDED, UNCONFIRMED, or have the NOEXPIRE flag set will be displayed. If multiple options are
| |
| given, all nicks matching at least one option will be displayed. Note that these options are limited to Services Operators.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Examples:
| |
| | |
| LIST *!joeuser@foo.com
| |
| Lists all registered nicks owned by joeuser@foo.com.
| |
| | |
| LIST *Bot*!*@*
| |
| Lists all registered nicks with Bot in their names (case insensitive).
| |
| | |
| LIST * NOEXPIRE
| |
| Lists all registered nicks that have been set to not expire.
| |
| | |
| LIST #51-100
| |
| Lists all registered nicks within the given range (51-100).
| |
| | |
| Regex matches are also supported using the regex/pcre engine. Enclose your pattern in // if this is desired.
| |
| | |
| | |
| == LOGOUT ==
| |
| Syntax:
| |
| LOGOUT [nickname] [REVALIDATE]
| |
| | |
| Without a parameter, reverses the effect of the IDENTIFY command, i.e. makes you not recognized as the real owner of the nick anymore. Note, however, that you won't be asked to reidentify yourself.
| |
| | |
| With a parameter, does the same for the given nick. If you specify REVALIDATE as well, Services will ask the given nick to re-identify. This is limited to Services Operators.
| |
| | |
| | |
| == RECOVER ==
| |
| Syntax:
| |
| RECOVER nickname [password]
| |
| | |
| Recovers your nick from another user or from services. If services are currently holding your nick, the hold will be released. If another user is holding your nick and is identified they will be killed (similar to the old GHOST command). If they are not identified they will be forced off of the nick.
| |
| | |
|
| |
|
| == REGISTER == | | == REGISTER == |
| Syntax: | | Syntax:<br/> |
| REGISTER password email | | REGISTER password email<br/> |
| | |
| 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! ANOPE, Anope, and anope 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.
| |
| | |
| This command also creates a new group for your nickname, that will allow you to register other nicks later sharing the same configuration, the same set of memos and the same channel privileges.
| |
| | |
| | |
| == RESEND ==
| |
| Syntax:
| |
| RESEND
| |
| | |
| This command will resend you the registration confirmation email.
| |
| | |
| | |
| == RESETPASS ==
| |
| Syntax:
| |
| RESETPASS nickname email
| |
| | |
| Sends a passcode to the nickname with instructions on how to reset their password. Email must be the email address associated to the nickname.
