Nickserv Commands

Webmaster Messages : 23 Date d'inscription : 05/11/2008

ACCESS: Modifies or displays the access list for your nick. This is the list of addresses which will be automatically recognized by NickServ as allowed to use the nick. If you want to use the nick from a different address, you need to send an IDENTIFY command to make NickServ recognize you.

ADD: /msg nickserv access add mask
DEL: /msg nickserv access del mask
LIST: /msg nickserv access list
Examples:
/msg nickserv ACCESS ADD anyone@*.example.com
Allows access to user anyone from any machine in the example.com domain.
/msg nickserv ACCESS DEL anyone@*.example.com
Reverses the previous command.
/msg nickserv ACCESS LIST
Displays the current access list.

ALIST: /msg nickserv alist
Lists channels you have access on.

DROP: /msg nickserv drop nickname
Drops your nickname from the NickServ database. A nick that has been dropped is free for anyone to re-register.
You may drop a nick within your group by passing it as the nick parameter.
In order to use this command, you must first identify with your password (/msg nickserv help identify for more information).

GHOST: /msg nickserv ghost nick password
Terminates a "ghost" IRC session using your nick. A "ghost" session is one which is not actually connected, but which the IRC server believes is still online for one reason or another. Typically, this happens if your computer crashes or your Internet or modem connection goes down while you're on IRC.
In order to use the GHOST command for a nick, your current address as shown in /WHOIS must be on that nick's access list, you must be identified and in the group of that nick, or you must supply the correct password for the nickname.

GLIST: /msg nickserv glist
Lists all nicks in your group.

GROUP: /msg nickserv group target password
This command makes your nickname join the target nickname's group. password is the password of the target nickname.
Joining a group will allow you to share your configuration, memos, and channel privileges with all the nicknames in the group, and much more!
A group exists as long as it is useful. This means that even if a nick of the group is dropped, you won't lose the shared things described above, as long as there is at least one nick remaining in the group.
You can use this command even if you have not registered your nick yet. If your nick is already registered, you'll need to identify yourself before using this command. Type /msg nickserv help identify for more information. This last may be not possible on your IRC network.
It is recommended to use this command with a non-registered nick because it will be registered automatically when using this command. You may use it with a registered nick (to change your group) only if your network administrators allowed it.
You can only be in one group at a time. Group merging is not possible.
Note: all the nicknames of a group have the same password.

IDENTIFY: /msg nickserv identify password
Tells NickServ that you are really the owner of this nick. Many commands require you to authenticate yourself with this command before you use them. The password should be the same one you sent with the REGISTER command.

INFO: /msg nickserv info nick ALL
Displays information about the given nickname, such as the nick's owner, last seen address and time, and nick options. If you are identified for the nick you're getting information for and ALL is specified, you will be shown all the information; regardless of whether it's hidden or not.

LOGOUT: /msg nickserv logout
This reverses the effect of the IDENTIFY command, i.e. make you not recognized as the real owner of the nick anymore. Note, however, that you won't be asked to reidentify yourself.

RECOVER: /msg nickserv recover nick password
Allows you to recover your nickname if someone else has taken it; this does the same thing that NickServ does automatically if someone tries to use a kill-protected nick.
When you give this command, NickServ will bring a fake user online with the same nickname as the user you're trying to recover your nick from. This causes the IRC servers to disconnect the other user. This fake user will remain online for one minute to ensure that the other user does not immediately reconnect; after that minute, you can reclaim your nick. Alternatively, use the RELEASE command (/msg nickserv help release) to get the nick back sooner.
In order to use the RECOVER command for a nick, your current address as shown in /WHOIS must be on that nick's access list, you must be identified and in the group of that nick, or you must supply the correct password for the nickname.

REGISTER: /msg nickserv register password email
Registers your nickname in the NickServ database. Once your nick is registered, you can use the SET and ACCESS commands to configure your nick's settings as you like them. Make sure you remember the password you use when registering - you'll need it to make changes to your nick later. (Note that case matters! EPONA, Epona, and epona are all different passwords!)
Guidelines on choosing passwords:
Passwords should not be easily guessable. For example, using your real name as a password is a bad idea. Using your nickname as a password is a much worse idea Wink

and, in fact, NickServ will not allow it. Also, short passwords are vulnerable to trial-and-error searches, so you should choose a password at least 5 characters long.
Finally, the space character cannot be used in passwords.
The parameter email is optional and will set the email for your nick immediately. However, it may be required on certain networks. Your privacy is respected; this e-mail won't be given to any third-party person.
This command also creates a new group for your nickname, that will allow you to register other nicks later sharing the same configuration, the same set of memos and the same channel privileges. For more information on this feature, type /msg nickserv help group.

RELEASE: /msg nickserv release nick password
Instructs NickServ to remove any hold on your nickname caused by automatic kill protection or use of the RECOVER command. By default, such holds last for one minute; this command gets rid of them sooner.
In order to use the RELEASE command for a nick, your current address as shown in /WHOIS must be on that nick's access list, you must be identified and in the group of that nick, or you must supply the correct password for the nickname.

SET: Sets various nickname options. option can be one of:

DISPLAY: /msg nickserv set display new-display
Changes the display used to refer to your nickname group in Services. The new display MUST be a nick of your group.
