miniircd -- A (very) simple Internet Relay Chat (IRC) server ============================================================ Description ----------- miniircd is a small and limited IRC server written in Python. Despite its size, it is a functional alternative to a full-blown ircd for private or internal use. Installation is simple; no configuration is required. Features -------- * Knows about the basic IRC protocol and commands. * Easy installation. * No configuration. * No ident lookup (so that people behind firewalls that filter the ident port without sending NACK can connect without long timeouts). Limitations ----------- * Can't connect to other IRC servers. * Only knows the most basic IRC commands. * No IRC operators. * No channel operators. * No user or channel modes except channel key. * No reverse DNS lookup. * No other mechanism to reject clients than requiring a password. Requirements ------------ Python 2.5 or newer. Get it at http://www.python.org. Installation ------------ None. Just run "./miniircd --help" (or "python miniircd --help") to get some help.
