Ports on which the server should listen. There may be more than one port,
separated with ','. Default: 6667.
.TP
+\fBSSLPorts\fR
+Same as \fBPorts\fR , except that ngircd will expect incoming connections
+to be SSL/TLS encrypted. Default: None
+.TP
+\fBSSLKeyFile\fR
+Filename of SSL Server Key to be used for SSL connections. This is required for
+SSL/TLS support.
+.TP
+\fBSSLKeyFilePassword\fR
+(OpenSSL only:) Password to decrypt private key.
+.TP
+\fBSSLCertFile\fR
+Certificate of the private key
+.TP
+\fBSSLDHFile\fR
+Name of the Diffie-Hellman Parameter file. Can be created with gnutls
+"certtool \-\-generate-dh-params" or "openssl dhparam".
+If this file is not present, it will be generated on startup when ngircd
+was compiled with gnutls support (this may take some time). If ngircd
+was compiled with OpenSSL, then (Ephemeral)-Diffie-Hellman Key Exchanges and several
+Cipher Suites will not be available.
+.TP
\fBListen\fR
-The IP address on which the server should listen. Default is empty, so
-the server listens on all configured IP addresses and interfaces.
+A comma seperated list of IP address on which the server should listen.
+If unset, the defaults value is "0.0.0.0", or, if ngircd was compiled
+with IPv6 support, "::,0.0.0.0", so the server listens on all configured
+IP addresses and interfaces by default.
.TP

Text file with the "message of the day" (MOTD). This message will be shown
Default: No.
.TP
\fBNoDNS\fR
-If enabled, ngircd will not make DNS lookups when clients connect.

If you configure ngircd to connect to other servers, ngircd may still
perform a DNS lookup if required.
-Default: No.
+Default: false.
.TP
-\fBListenIPv4\fR
-Set this to no if you do not want ngircd to accept clients using the standard internet protocol, ipv4.
-This allows use of ngircd in ipv6-only setups.
-Default: Yes.
-.TP
-\fBListenIPv6\fR
-Set this to no if you do not want ngircd to accept clients using the new internet protocol, ipv6.
-Default: Yes.
+\fBNoIdent\fR
+If ngircd is compiled with IDENT support this can be used to disable IDENT
+lookups at run time.
+Default: false.
.TP
\fBConnectIPv4\fR
Set this to no if you do not want ngircd to connect to other irc servers using ipv4.
Default: Yes.
.TP
\fBMaxConnections\fR
-Maximum number of simultaneous connection the server is allowed to accept
-(0: unlimited). Default: 0.
+Maximum number of simultaneous in- and outbound connections the server is
+allowed to accept (0: unlimited). Default: 0.
.TP
\fBMaxConnectionsIP\fR
Maximum number of simultaneous connections from a single IP address that
Maximum length of an user nick name (Default: 9, as in RFC 2812). Please
note that all servers in an IRC network MUST use the same maximum nick name
length!
+\fBSSLConnect\fR
+Connect to the remote server using TLS/SSL (Default: false)
.SH [OPERATOR]
.I [Operator]
sections are used to define IRC Operators. There may be more than one
\fBPassive\fR
Disable automatic connection even if port value is specified. Default: false.
You can use the IRC Operator command CONNECT later on to create the link.
+.TP
+\fBServiceMask\fR
+Define a (case insensitive) mask matching nick names that sould be treated as
+IRC services when introduced via this remote server. REGULAR SERVERS DON'T NEED
+this parameter, so leave it empty (which is the default).
+.PP
+.RS
+When you are connecting IRC services which mask as a IRC server and which use
+"virtual users" to communicate with, for example "NickServ" amd "ChanServ",
+you should set this parameter to something like "*Serv".
.SH [CHANNEL]
Pre-defined channels can be configured in
.I [Channel]
\fBMaxUsers\fR
Set maximum user limit for this channel (only relevant if mode l is set).
.SH HINTS
-It's wise to use "ngircd --configtest" to validate the configuration file
+It's wise to use "ngircd \-\-configtest" to validate the configuration file
after changing it. See
