ArcNet Information

I have posted these mainly to help #Sambuca users, but everyone may use, until ARCNET posts some official page..Deb

 

Registering a Nickname
The registration process for the ArcNet servers is relatively simple. First, you must tell the authentication server that you want to register the nickname. To do this, type:

/msg AuthServ@chanserv.arcnet.vapor.com REGISTER <nick> <password> <email>

Your nick has now been registered. To use this nick, you would need to authenticate with the authserv by using the following command:

/msg AuthServ@chanserv.arcnet.vapor.com AUTH nick password

 

Additional AuthServ Commands
Occasionally you may encounter a problem where the AuthServ may not recognize your host name when you attempt AUTH to your account, and the following error message is given:

You host mask is not valid for the account <account>

This is commonly a problem when trying to AUTH to your account from a different computer. It can also happen if you change the host name of your system, or for several other reasons.

In order to access your account on a computer that has an “invalid host”, you have to have the AuthServ verify that it's really you. To do this, we have to tell the AuthServ to send a key (or cookie) to the email address you registered your account to. This is done with the following command:

/msg AuthServ authcookie <account>

In a couple minutes after issuing that command, you should receive an email that tells you how to add the host mask to your account. The email should tell you to issue a command similar to:

/msg AuthServ@chanserv.arcnet.vapor.com COOKIE cookiename

 

HOSTMASKS:( helpful if you have a dynamic IP)
To add an additional (or new) hostmask to your account:
Type this command: /msg AuthServ ADDMASK [user@host]
You will get this response: Adds the specified user@host to the account you are authenticated to with AuthServ. If no mask is given, it uses your current mask.
