Welcome to the Tcl IRCd!

This is a pure Tcl IRCd, not a full IRC protocol implementation but enough to be used as a real IRC server to open some channel to the public.

You can find more information visiting:

http://www.hping.org/tclircd/

HOW TO RUN IT

Using Tcl8.4 or greater, type:

$ tclsh ircd.tcl

The server will run using the port 6667 for default. You can modify it editing the ircd.tcl file, the configuration stuff is at the end.

You may change the password used to reload the server at runtime from the same part of the ircd.tcl file.

If you plan to hack with this program you should now that it's possible to reload the server at runtime using the following command from the IRC client:

/quote reload <password>

The <password> can be set from the ircd.tcl file. For default it is "betterIfYouChangeThis".

Have fun! antirez
