They don't even seem to be stored anywhere by the server. It's permanently attached to a password once registered with nickserv, and the username and real name don't matter and can be changed at every log in. So you can even use a different username and real name every time you connect to the server and nobody seems to even notice.Ĭonclusion: The nick seems to be the only thing that matters at all. WHOIS Iggle showed a username of "canada" and a real name of "ghana", no mention of the data I used on the previous log-in.
That logged me in and didn't complain about the password, giving me +r straight away! This confirms that the PASS command is the same as the password given to nickserv, and since I used a different username and real name, it shows that neither of those have anything to do with the password - only the nick matters. Doing WHOIS Iggle showed a username of "whatever" and a real name of "some real name". So the PASS command does indeed correspond to the password you register with NickServ. It logged me in but complained about an invalid password. So now "pinetree" is the password for Nick: Iggle, Username: whatever, Real name: somerealname. Then I registered PRIVMSG nickserv register pinetree verified it.
At least on Foonetic.įirst, I logged in with nick "Iggle", and some random other data: PASS stuff The password is indeed used to register you, and is associated with the nick, not the username or the real name. I've done some experimentation and the only thing that seems to matter is the nick. RFC1459 is still the lingua franca of IRC. Note that the RFC2812 does not represent a consensus view of IRC - it is an update to the standard authored by and focussed on one particular implementation of IRC. Some servers will use the password supplied to attempt to log you on to IRC services. It is used to supply a password if the IRC server you are using requires one. Some people do put their real name here, but many do not. Unlike the other two fields, this field can be fairly long and contain most characters (including spaces). The real name supplied with USER is used to populate the real name field that appears when someone uses the WHOIS command on your nick. Some people do still use IRC from multi-user shell servers, but for the most part the username is vestigal. In the early days of IRC it was typical for people to run their IRC client on multi-user machines, and the username corresponded to their local username on that machine. The username supplied with USER is simply the user part in your hostmask that appears to others on IRC, showing where your connection originates from (if you've never seen these, then your client may be hiding them). AI chatbot startup LimeChat has raised 4.2 Mn in seed funding round led by. The nickname must be unique across the network, so you can't use a nickname that's already in use at the time. In the last six months, LimeChat has witnessed a 3X growth and has expanded its client base to over 125 brands in India. The nickname supplied with NICK is the name that's used to address you on IRC.
