ZNC is an advanced IRC bouncer
|
|
|
|
ZNC will remain connected to an IPv4 or IPv6 IRC server even while you
|
|
are offline. You can reattach your client at a later time and catch up
|
|
with what happened while you were gone via the history buffer. You can
|
|
add additional users under one running process: useful for public shells
|
|
that limit background processes. ZNC also supports the dynamic loading
|
|
of C++ and Perl modules.
|
|
|
|
Once the package is installed, you can interactivly create your znc.conf
|
|
using the following command:
|
|
/usr/bin/znc --makeconf --datadir /etc/znc
|
|
Once you have answered all the questions, your znc.conf file will be located
|
|
at /etc/znc/configs/znc.conf.
|
|
|
|
It is recommended that you do *NOT* run znc as 'root' but rather as a
|
|
more benign user such as 'nobody'. It should be noted that you can
|
|
only run as a non-root user if you choose a listening port higher than
|
|
1024. The following is necessary to allow znc to be run as the 'nobody'
|
|
user; it only needs to be run once:
|
|
chown -R nobody:nobody /etc/znc
|
|
To actually execute ZNC as the 'nobody' user, use the following command:
|
|
su - nobody -c '/usr/bin/znc --datadir /etc/znc'
|
|
By default, ZNC will look for its configuration file in ~/.znc. If you
|
|
used the '--datadir' option when creating the znc.conf file, it must also
|
|
be used when starting ZNC.
