sirc is a pretty wack client, as I believe the IRC kiddies would term it :-) I used to have a pretty nifty set up where you could go to a webpage which would run JTA with the SSH plugin and log you in as a special user whose shell was a script that ran sirc and connected to the ircd at localhost. Voila, instant encrypted IRC.
Unfortunately sirc was quite ill-behaved under such circumstances. It and JTA kept disagreeing about window size and fonts and terminal emulation. I tried to get BitchX going instead without success, and then everyone switched to IM so I just turned it off. Still, the JTA trick is a nice one to remember if you want to present a console app. On Mon, 2002-12-23 at 11:45, bascule wrote: > hi jack > > i believe it is a front end yes, when it starts it says welcome to sirc or > similar, i looked at xchat, this gives me the option to set ircname and > ircuser before i connect, ksirc allows you to set 'realname' only > with xchat i logon and i'm shown as i wish, this applies to all servers i log > on to, if i use /set ircname etc this only takes efect on my next connection, > anyway i make sure i'm not shown as my local user and i'm happier > > cheers > > bascule > On Sunday 22 Dec 2002 6:32 am, Jack Coates wrote: > > > probably, but ident is still overridden by /nick.
