miniircd -- A (very) simple Internet Relay Chat (IRC) server ------------------------------------------------------------ Description: miniircd is a small and limited IRC server. Yet, it's a functional alternative to a full-blown ircd if you want to run a small IRC server for private or internal usage. 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. * No reverse DNS lookup. * No other mechanism to reject clients than requiring a password. Requirements: Python 2.3 or newer. Get it at http://www.python.org. Installation: None. Just run "./miniircd --help" (or "python miniircd --help") to get some help. License: See COPYING.
