![]() Once this is done you can connect your client and your off. ![]() On my OS X box that looks like this (you can make this a permanent alias for convenience) “ ssh -L#:localhost:# where # is the port you specified in your config and username is your people account username. The last part of this that took me a while to figure out was that I had to setup an ssh pass for the local host. You will also need the username and password you setup during your config. you will want to use localhost as your server and the port you setup in your conf and don’t forget to use SSL. The last part of this is setting up your client. Don’t forget to provide the passwords for password protected channels. You will need the info for your irc server in my case, what port it listens on, (6697) and weather it uses ssl (it does) After that it will ask for the channels you want to have it be on. It will then ask you to setup a user, again pretty easy, then it asks about modules but I did not setup any of these as I did not see a use. Would you like ZNC to listen using ipv6? (yes/no) : no Would you like ZNC to listen using SSL? (yes/no) : yes What port would you like ZNC to listen on? (1 to 65535): # The biggest difference is you have to give the program a port to listen on, and you need to remember that port for configuring your client be it LimeChat or another. The interactive setup was pretty easy, if you have setup an IRC client for doing work at mozilla a good deal of the setup is the same. The easiest way to do this is to run “ znc -c, –makeconf“ I found the list of commands by doing a znc -? while ssh-ed into my people account. After poking around on our IRC channels I found out znc is already installed on our people accounts for Mozilla and I just needed to get a config. So I dug a bit more and found a bouncer called ZNC and set off to see if I could get it installed.įirst I tried to install it directly and that did not work, in fact the commands said they would report my activity to our ops security group (good thing I work with that team). Honestly I just don’t like the asthetics of IRSSI and I have invested some time in good themes for LimeChat and getting things just the way I like it. My coworkers user IRSSI on their people accounts and ssh in to get the scroll back. I like using LimeChate for my IRC client, but since I don’t have a way to maintain an always on connection I was missing information happening in channels we use for work.
