- registering the nick name
t's quite helpful because it means that nobody can pretend that they are you, at least not while you are there, and because registered users can become operators, that means they can register channels or kick people out if necessary
there are 3 services on IRC for registrations:
-
- nickserv = nick services
- chanserv = channel service
- memoserv = memo service, if you want to leave messages for people who are not there
and if you want anything from this services, you just send them a message ( /msg )
1 registering your nick
command:
/msg nickserv REGISTER "nick" "password"
everything in " " means that you have to fill in your own words,
you can do it from any channel,
you only register it once
2 identifying yourself after reentering irc
next time you enter irc, the computer will ask you to identify yourself with your password
command:
/msg nickserv IDENTIFY "password"
