ratbox-services compatibility documentation - Lee H <lee -at- leeh.co.uk>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Compatibility with ratbox-services can be enabled by passing the
'--enable-services' flag to configure.  It will add the following features
to ircd:

1. Channel mode +r

   A simple mode taking no parameters, will require users are logged in
   with user services before they may join the channel.

   Gives numeric 477 to users who arent logged in:
   :<server> 477 <nick> <channel> :Cannot join channel (+r)

2. service block to ircd.conf

   Ability to specify the names of services servers in ircd.conf:
   service {
       name = "services.ircd-ratbox.org";
       name = "backup-services.ircd-ratbox.org";
   };

   These must be specified for certain features to work.  You may specify as
   many entries as you wish.

3. Services protection

   Services will be protected from being deopped or kicked from a channel.

4. Username tracking through netsplits

   When users are logged in, the username they are logged in with will be
   preserved on a netsplit, so users will not have to relogin when the
   network merges together.

5. Username given on WHOIS

   When users are logged in, WHOIS will also give numeric 330:
   :<server> 330 <yournick> <targetnick> <loginname> :is logged in as
