The script auth.tcl authenticates the bot with an authentication service when it has connected to the IRC server. The code and settings in this script are quite specific to the authentication service of QuakeNet provided by Q.
Note: the authentication user name and password are stored in this script in plain text. This is not very secure. So, be careful and use this script at your own risk!
You need to configure the authentication service, your username, your password and your email address inside the script. You can set these in the variables in the following section that you can find at the top of the script:
namespace eval ::auth {
# authentication settings for Q (QuakeNet)
variable serv "[email protected]"
variable name "YourQAccountName"
variable pass "YourQAccountPassword"
variable mail "[email protected]"
}There are no additional commands required to use this script. After enabling the script in the Eggdrop configuration file, the script automatically runs its authentication procedure each time it has established a connection to an IRC server.
The script contains a !register command that can be used to register an
account on the authentication service. It is disabled by default. Uncomment the
respective bind line in the script if you really need it. Do not forget to
comment it out again as soon as you have registered the account.
