- Synopsis:
- ircuser <username>
-
- Description:
- This lets the user specify what username to send to irc servers when
- connecting to the network. Naturally, it requires that the client
- have this set before actually connecting to the network.
-
- See Also:
- reconnect(1)
-
- Restrictions:
- This command is generally useless for users on hosts that use identd
- (RFC 1413). Most modern irc servers query the host's identd server
- to (try to) obtain the user's real username, and will ignore what the
- client sends it.
-
- Other Notes:
- Yes, this is one of the more controversial elements of EPIC. It's
- intent is to provide privacy for those who desire it. Those who use
- it for abusive purposes can expect to be dealt with accordingly on
- the servers and networks they use.
