{{{/msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password>

== Irssi ==
Line 21: Line 30:
Now you have to identify yourself each time you connect to IRC. To identify use this command:
{{{
/msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password>
You can create an alias in irssi so you won't have to type as much:
{{{/alias NS /msg nickserv
Line 26: Line 34:

You now may want to play around with NickServ. Feel free an try some commands like
{{{
/msg NickServ HELP
To use this alias type:
{{{/NS {IDENTIFY,REGISTER,HELP,or any other nickserv command}
Line 32: Line 38:


You may also want to speed up this process by making an irssi alias.
{{{
/alias NS /msg nickserv
}}}
where, NS is the alias you want to use. To use this alias, you would do
{{{
/NS {IDENTIFY,REGISTER,HELP,or any other nickserv command}
You can also make irssi automatically identify with NickServ each time you connect by issuing a command like:
{{{/NETWORK ADD -autosendcmd "/^msg nickserv ident <password>;wait 2000" Allshells
Line 43: Line 42:

You have to have a network named Allshells and use that network name to connect for this to work (ie `/connect Allshells` instead of `/connect irc.allshells.net`.)

Register with Nickserv on Allshells

Register

Start by connecting to IRC, and make sure you are on the right IRC network (irc.allshells.net). If you don't know how to do this see ["Info/IRC"].

Change your nickname to the one you want to use in the future, the nickname you want to register. You can change nickname with this command: /nick <nickname>.

To register with NickServ use this command: (replace <password> with your desired password, and optionally enter an email adress to be able to recover your password at a later time) {{{/msg NickServ REGISTER <password> [email] }}}

To get some additional help, type: {{{/msg NickServ HELP REGISTER }}}

It is not allowed to pick a password wich is less than 5 characters long. Beware that your password is case sensitive (which means foolish, FOOLISH or fooLish would be three different passwords.)

Now you have registered your nick with NickServ, and what's more, you are also already identified.

Identify

You will have to identify with NickServ every time you connect to IRC. You do this by issuing the following command:

{{{/msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password> }}}

Irssi

You can create an alias in irssi so you won't have to type as much: {{{/alias NS /msg nickserv }}}

To use this alias type: {{{/NS {IDENTIFY,REGISTER,HELP,or any other nickserv command} }}}

You can also make irssi automatically identify with NickServ each time you connect by issuing a command like: {{{/NETWORK ADD -autosendcmd "/^msg nickserv ident <password>;wait 2000" Allshells }}}

You have to have a network named Allshells and use that network name to connect for this to work (ie /connect Allshells instead of /connect irc.allshells.net.)

Have fun! And don't forget to join #blinkenshell and say hello to independence ;-) {{{/join #blinkenshell }}}
