BitlBee is an IRC instant messaging gateway licensed under the terms of the
|
|
GPL. It communicates with the end user via the IRC protocol whilst interacting
|
|
with popular chat networks such as AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, and Jabber. The user's
|
|
buddies appear as normal IRC users in a channel, and conversations use the
|
|
private message facility of IRC.
|
|
|
|
After your installation you will need to configure bitlbee. There are two ways
|
|
starting bitlbee: Either as a forked deamon (preferred), or the old way of starting
|
|
it through inetd (mostly deprecated these days).
|
|
|
|
Bitlbee now includes a standard rc.bitlbee. To have this start on boot-up, add
|
|
the following code to /etc/rc.d/rc.local for example
|
|
|
|
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.bitlbee ]; then
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.bitlbee start
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
If you choose to use inetd , you need to modify your /etc/inetd.conf so bitlbee will
|
|
be started when /etc/rc.d/rc.inetd is called on bootup. Add the line below to
|
|
your /etc/inetd.conf file:
|
|
6667 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/bitlbee
|
|
|
|
Restart inetd (/etc/rc.d/rc.inetd restart). All that is left to do now is
|
|
connect your irc client to the localhost.
|
|
|
|
if you want to use libevent for events, instead of the default glib, install
|
|
libevent and run the script like this: EVENTS=libevent ./bitlbee.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
OTR (Off the record) is not compiled by default. If you want bitlbee to
|
|
compile with OTR capabilities, you'll need to install libotr from Slackware
|
|
and run the script as follows: OTR=yes ./bitlbee.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The default "bot"/bitlbee daemon is called 'root'. This is not the root
|
|
user on your system. You can easily change it. Register and identify yourself
|
|
first, and then:
|
|
rename root BitlBot
|
|
(or whatever you want)
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Since bitlbee now runs as a daemon instead of from inetd, bitlbee runs
|
|
under its own user (UID/GID: 250). If you have older databases of bitlbee, you
|
|
may want to change the permissions on the files in /var/lib/bitlbee.
