I am trying to set up a password protected official channel and I am not sure of the syntax. Can anyone give me an example? Also, how do I send out a broadcast to all rooms on a server? I have no services loaded, and tried using the /notice command and it did not appear to work. Thanks in advance.
If you want to password protect a channel, just use channelmode +k. (You can't password protect official channels via the configuration file.)

Dukat - Thanks for the heads up about password protection via the config file, I might have to look at scripting that somehow. As for the notice, I tried it and it seemed to go out but none of my clients saw it (they are using mIRC). Is there something I need to configure on the client side for them to see it. I have never worked with IRC before, so this may be a very basic question but I have not been able to find an answer. Here is what I typed to send the broadcast:
/notice $.my.domain Test Message
and the server status window showed:
[11:40] -> $.my.domain - Test Message
but no channels displayed it.
/notice $.my.domain Test Message
and the server status window showed:
[11:40] -> $.my.domain - Test Message
but no channels displayed it.
You have to send it exactly as specified in the FAQ:

/notice $*.my.domain Test Message, NOT notice $.my.domain Test Message
Of course this only works if all your servers are named <something>.my.domain.
The message will be sent as a notice to all clients (not to the channels).
