COMMAND | PARAMETER | DESCRIPTION | VERSION |
PASSWD | password |
Set the password for the administrator login
here. If you don't use this command, or if you leave the default password
(default: changethis) unchanged, you will not be able to use the administrator
commands, once the server is running. That means, if you want to use commands like
user kick out, you have to set YOUR password here !
| 0.92 |
ANONYMOUS | yes/no |
If you set this parameter to no, no user is allowed to
change to the anonymous channel. Use this command, if you don't want your
guests to use the anonymous channel. Default is yes.
| 0.93-2 |
ALLOWCHANNELS | yes/no |
If you set this parameter to no, no user is allowed to
open a new channel. If it is set to no, only the chat-administrator can do this.
Default is yes.
| 0.93-2 |
UNIQUE | yes/no |
If you set this parameter to yes, every user
has to chose a unique nickname. Default is no.
| 1.10 |
GUESTLOGIN | yes/no |
If you set this parameter to yes and the UNIQUE
parameter is also enabled, users can use the nickname guest instead
of a unique nickname. If it's disabled really EVERY user has to have
a different nickname. Default is yes.
| 1.10 |
CHANGENICKS | yes/no |
Use this command to allow/disallow users to change their nicknames
once they are connected. If you don't want to allow your guest to change
their names set this parameter to no. Default is yes.
| 1.10 |
KICKOUTTIME | time |
Use this parameter, if you want to change the time (in sec) a host is
banned (and can therefore not connect to the server), after he has been kicked
out by the administrator. The default setting is 3600 (1 hour). If you set
this value to 0, a user can immediatly connect again, after he has been kicked out.
| 0.94 |
IDLETIME | time |
Using this command, you can change the default value of the IDLETIME parameter.
(Default is 0, this means off). This paramter sets the time after a user is
kicked out of the chat if he doesn't say a word for time seconds. If the time is set to
0 users will not be kicked out even if they don't say a word for days.
NOTE: Users are not kicked exactly at the time you set via time but when the first
new user after time is over connects to the chat. (This is to speed up the server).
The admin user will NEVER be kicked out of the chat-system.
| 1.10 |
LOGFILE | filename |
Use this parameter if you want to use another logfile than the
default one (default is: /var/log/melange.log). This is also usefull,
if you are running more than one server, and want to have seperate logfiles.
| 0.94 |
MSGLOGFILE | filename or ON |
Use this parameter if you want to enable an additional logfile which
logs only the messages (instead of all sysmessages, commands, servermessages, etc. in the
default logfile) and if a user connects/disconnects to the server. If you specify
a filename, this name is used, if you only set the parameter to ON the default
logfile is used. (default is: /var/log/melange_msg.log).
| 1.10 |
LOGLEVEL | level |
Use this parameter to set the Loglevel at startup. Currently
levels 0 to 4 are supported, where 0 doesn't write anything to the logfile,
4 logs every data received from the server (should only be used for debugging).
Levels 1-3 are the "default" level, where 3 logs every small warning,
1 nearly no warning. Default is 3.
| 0.99a |
SYSCHANNEL | cid and name |
By default there are two system channels available at startup.
(These are MAIN (0) and ANONYMOUS (1)). If you want to create additional system
channels, which should be available at startup use this command.
You can use this command as often as you need. For example:
SYSCHANNEL 10 hello, will create a channel with channel id 10,
and with channelname "hello".
| 0.93-2 |
GROUP | GroupID, GroupPassword |
Use this parameter to create a group with the GroupID groupID
and the group's password GroupPassword.
| 1.10 |
SETGROUP | cid, grpid |
Use this parameter to change the group of a system-channel with
the channel-number cid to the groupID given with the grpid.
NOTE: The system-channels must already exist at this time, that means you
have to use the associated SYSCHANNEL parameter before the SETGROUP parameter.
| 1.10 |
SYSMSG | on/off |
This parameter enables or disables the "system-messages" feature.
This feature is used and needed by the "real-time" clients. If you want to use
such clients, make sure you set this parameter to on.
| 1.01 |
PROFILE | allow/deny |
This parameter is used to set the default security profile
for your server. If you set this parameter to deny, nobody can connect
to your server. (You have to specify who is allowed to connect, seperatly).
This is usefull, if you want to run the chatserver for a team/group and don't
want others to be allowed to connect. The default value is allow. In this
case everybody can connect to the server. (You have to specify who is not allowed
to connect, seperatly). This value must be set before the first ALLOW/DENY commands.
| 0.94 |
ALLOW | mask |
If you set the PROFILE to deny, you have to specify who
is allowed to connect to the server. (Other, nobody can connect, and this does not
make much sense). You do this by setting a mask. A desciption of the
mask, can be found later on this page. You can use this command as often as you need (to specify
more than one host).
| 0.94 |
DENY | mask |
Similar to the ALLOW command, if you set the PROFILE to allow, you CAN
specify host who are NOT allowed to connect to the server. (If you don't use this command,
everybody can connect). You do this by setting a mask. A desciption of the
mask, can be found later on this page. You can use this command as often as you need (to specify
more than one host).
