15 # The [Global] section of this file is used to define the main
16 # configuration of the server, like the server name and the ports
17 # on which the server should be listening.
19 # Server name in the IRC network, must contain at least one dot
20 # (".") and be unique in the IRC network.
23 # Info text of the server. This will be shown by WHOIS and
24 # LINKS requests for example.

37 # one port, separated with ";". (Default: 6667)
38 ;Ports = 6667, 6668, 66694
40 # IP address on which the server should listen. (Default: empty,
41 # so the server listens on all IP addresses of the system)
44 # Text file with the "message of the day" (MOTD). This message will
45 # be shown to all users connecting to the server:
46 ;MotdFile = /usr/local/etc/ngircd.motd
48 # User ID under which the server should run; you can use the name
49 # of the user or the numerical ID. ATTENTION: For this to work the
50 # server must have been started with root privileges! In addition,
51 # the configuration and MOTD files must be readable by this user,
52 # otherwise RESTART and REHASH won't work!
55 # Group ID under which the ngircd should run; you can use the name
56 # of the group or the numerical ID. ATTENTION: For this to work the
57 # server must have been started with root privileges!
60 # After <PingTimeout> seconds of inactivity the server will send a
61 # PING to the peer to test whether it is alive or not.
64 # If a client fails to answer a PING with a PONG within <PongTimeout>
65 # seconds, it will be disconnected by the server.
68 # The server tries every <ConnectRetry> seconds to establish a link
69 # to not yet (or no longer) connected servers.
72 # Should IRC Operators be allowed to use the MODE command even if
73 # they are not(!) channel-operators?
76 # Maximum number of simultaneous connection the server is allowed
77 # to accept (<=0: unlimited):

89 # more than one [Operator] block, one for each local operator.
91 # ID of the operator (may be different of the nick name)
94 # Password of the IRC operator
98 # Other servers are configured in [Server] sections. If you
99 # configure a port for the connection, then this ngircd tries to
100 # connect to to the other server on the given port; if not it waits
101 # for the other server to connect.
102 # There may be more than one server block.
105 # The ngIRCd allows "server groups": You can assign an "ID" to every
106 # server with which you want this ngIRCd to link. If a server of a
107 # group won't answer, the ngIRCd tries to connect to the next server
108 # in the given group. But the ngircd never tries to connect to two
109 # servers with the same group ID.

126 # configured as "MyPassword" on the other server.

133 # Pre-defined channels can be configured in [Channel] sections.
134 # Such channels are created by the server when starting up and even
135 # persist when there are no more members left.
136 # Persistent channels are marked with the mode 'P', which can be set
137 # and unset by IRC operators like other modes on the fly.
