That couldn't be more wrong! The IRCd makes no differentiation between a server and a user. They are both clients. sptr means "sender pointer" cptr means "client pointer" and there is no aptr, it's acptr which means "affected client pointer." NOTHING says that any particular one must be a server ...

I just installed the 'eggdrop' client. It will connect to a defined set of channels and sit on them. It will also give a defined set of users +o on the channels. So far its working for me. I too dont want to get involved in the complication of services for my application.

I tried to do this two ways.

1) The most correct way to me was that I hooked the LOCAL_CONNECT. In the hook, I performed the code in the m_sysnick to change the nick ...

Have a look at the m_svsnick module. I believe it calls m_nick to change the nick.

That is one of the files I've been looking at. However, It does not call m_nick, but I'm thinking that if I emulate what it does, it might work.

Initially I tried call m_nick from a hook function in my own module ...

I'm looking for some pointers on how to change a NICK from a module.

I'm using the IRC server in a single host environment pretty much for a chat room. When someone logs in (via the HOOK for local pre connection), I look up their user info in a db4 file and authenticate them. Once piece of info in ...

Hello, I am trying to write my own module. The one thing I am not sure about is how do I add a system library to the link stage?

Basically, I am writing a module that uses the 'db' (Berkeley DB) so I need to add a '-ldb'.

At first, I modified the Makefile at the top level directory, added '-ldb ...
