NickServ
NickServ allows you to "register" a nickname and prevent others from using it. The following commands allow for registration and maintenance of nicknames; to use them, type /msg NickServ command. For more information on a specific command, type /msg NickServ HELP command.
Syntax: /msg NickServ REGISTER password [email]
Registers your nickname in the NickServ database. Once your nick is registered,
you can use the SET and ACCESS commands to configure your nick's settings as you
like them. Make sure you remember the password you use when registering - you'll
need it to make changes to your nick later. (Note that case matters! ANOPE,
Anope, and anope are all different passwords!)
Guidelines on choosing passwords:
Passwords should not be easily guessable. For example, using your real name as a
password is a bad idea. Using your nickname as a password is a much worse idea
;) and, in fact, NickServ will not allow it. Also, short passwords are
vulnerable to trial-and-error searches, so you should choose a password at least
5 characters long. Finally, the space character cannot be used in passwords.
The parameter email is optional and will set the email for your nick
immediately. However, it may be required on certain networks. Your privacy is
respected; this e-mail won't be given to any third-party person.
This command also creates a new group for your nickname, that will allow you to
register other nicks later sharing the same configuration, the same set of memos
and the same channel privileges. For more information on this feature, type /msg
NickServ HELP GROUP.
Syntax: /msg NickServ GROUP target password
This command makes your nickname join the target nickname's group. password is
the password of the target nickname.
Joining a group will allow you to share your configuration, memos, and channel
privileges with all the nicknames in the group, and much more!
A group exists as long as it is useful. This means that even if a nick of the
group is dropped, you won't lose the shared things described above, as long as
there is at least one nick remaining in the group.
You can use this command even if you have not registered your nick yet. If your
nick is already registered, you'll need to identify yourself before using this
command. Type /msg NickServ HELP IDENTIFY for more information. This last may be
not possible on your IRC network.
It is recommended to use this command with a non-registered nick because it will
be registered automatically when using this command. You may use it with a
registered nick (to change your group) only if your network administrators
allowed it.
You can only be in one group at a time. Group merging is not possible.
Note: all the nicknames of a group have the same password.
Syntax: /msg NickServ IDENTIFY password
Tells NickServ that you are really the owner of this nick. Many commands require
you to authenticate yourself with this command before you use them. The password
should be the same one you sent with the REGISTER command.
Syntax: /msg NickServ LOGOUT
This reverses the effect of the IDENTIFY command, i.e. make you not recognized
as the real owner of the nick anymore. Note, however, that you won't be asked to
reidentify yourself.
Syntax: /msg NickServ DROP [nickname]
Drops your nickname from the NickServ database. A nick that has been dropped is
free for anyone to re-register.
You may drop a nick within your group by passing it as the nick parameter.
In order to use this command, you must first identify with your password (/msg
NickServ HELP IDENTIFY for more information).
Syntax: /msg NickServ ACCESS ADD mask
ACCESS DEL mask
ACCESS LIST
Modifies or displays the access list for your nick. This is the list of
addresses which will be automatically recognized by NickServ as allowed to use
the nick. If you want to use the nick from a different address, you need to send
an IDENTIFY command to make NickServ recognize you.
Examples:
ACCESS ADD anyone@*.bepeg.com
Allows access to user anyone from any machine in
the bepeg.com domain.
ACCESS DEL anyone@*.bepeg.com
Reverses the previous command.
ACCESS LIST
Displays the current access list.

when responding to a command you send). number should be chosen from the
following list of supported languages:
SET URL
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET URL url
Associates the given URL with your nickname. This URL will be displayed whenever
someone requests information on your nick with the INFO command.
SET EMAIL
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET EMAIL address
Associates the given E-mail address with your nickname. This address will be
displayed whenever someone requests information on the nickname with the INFO
command.
SET HIDE
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET HIDE {EMAIL | STATUS | USERMASK | QUIT} {ON | OFF}
Allows you to prevent certain pieces of information from being displayed when
someone does a NickServ INFO on your nick. You can hide your E-mail address
(EMAIL) last seen user@host mask (USERMASK), your services access status
(STATUS) and last quit message (QUIT). The second parameter specifies whether
the information should be displayed (OFF) or hidden (ON).
SET ICQ
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET ICQ number

displayed whenever someone requests information on your nick with the INFO
command.

joining a channel that has GREET option enabled, provided that you have the
necessary access on it.
SET KILL
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET KILL {ON | QUICK | IMMED | OFF}
Turns the automatic protection option for your nick on or off. With protection
on, if another user tries to take your nick, they will be given one minute to
change to another nick, after which NickServ will forcibly change their nick.
If you select QUICK, the user will be given only 20 seconds to change nicks
instead of the usual 60. If you select IMMED, user's nick will be changed
immediately without being warned first or given a chance to change their nick;
please do not use this option unless necessary. Also, your network's
administrators may have disabled this option.
SET SECURE
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET SECURE {ON | OFF}
Turns NickServ's security features on or off for your nick. With SECURE set, you
must enter your password before you will be recognized as the owner of the nick,
regardless of whether your address is on the access list. However, if you are on
the access list, NickServ will not auto-kill you regardless of the setting of
the KILL option.
SET PRIVATE
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET PRIVATE {ON | OFF}
Turns NickServ's privacy option on or off for your nick. With PRIVATE set, your
nickname will not appear in nickname lists generated with NickServ's LIST
command. (However, anyone who knows your nickname can still get information on
it using the INFO command.)
SET HIDE
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET HIDE {EMAIL | STATUS | USERMASK | QUIT} {ON | OFF}
Allows you to prevent certain pieces of information from being displayed when
someone does a NickServ INFO on your nick. You can hide your E-mail address
(EMAIL), last seen user@host mask (USERMASK), your services access status
(STATUS) and last quit message (QUIT). The second parameter specifies whether
the information should be displayed (OFF) or hidden (ON).
SET MSG
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET MSG {ON | OFF}
Allows you to choose the way Services are communicating with you. With MSG set,
Services will use messages, else they'll use notices.

(ModeonID) and updates your vhost and your userflags (lastseentime, etc).
Syntax: /msg NickServ RECOVER nickname [password]
Allows you to recover your nickname if someone else has taken it; this does the
same thing that NickServ does automatically if someone tries to use a
kill-protected nick.
When you give this command, NickServ will bring a fake user online with the same
nickname as the user you're trying to recover your nick from. This causes the
IRC servers to disconnect the other user. This fake user will remain online for
NickServ to ensure that the other user does not immediately reconnect; after
that time, you can reclaim your nick. Alternatively, use the RELEASE command (/msg
NickServ HELP RELEASE) to get the nick back sooner.
In order to use the RECOVER command for a nick, your current address as shown in
/WHOIS must be on that nick's access list, you must be identified and in the
group of that nick, or you must supply the correct password for the nickname.
Syntax: /msg NickServ RELEASE nickname [password]
Instructs NickServ to remove any hold on your nickname caused by automatic kill
protection or use of the RECOVER command. This holds lasts for NickServ; this
command gets rid of them sooner.
In order to use the RELEASE command for a nick, your current address as shown in
/WHOIS must be on that nick's access list, you must be identified and in the
group of that nick, or you must supply the correct password for the nickname.
Syntax: /msg NickServ GHOST nickname [password]
Terminates a "ghost" IRC session using your nick. A "ghost" session is one which
is not actually connected, but which the IRC server believes is still online for
one reason or another. Typically, this happens if your computer crashes or your
Internet or modem connection goes down while you're on IRC.
In order to use the GHOST command for a nick, your current address as shown in
/WHOIS must be on that nick's access list, you must be identified and in the
group of that nick, or you must supply the correct password for the nickname.
Syntax: /msg NickServ INFO nickname [ALL]
Displays information about the given nickname, such as the nick's owner, last
seen address and time, and nick options. If you are identified for the nick
you're getting information for and ALL is specified, you will be shown all the
information; regardless of whether it's hidden or not.

1 - user not recognized as nickname's owner
2 - user recognized as owner via access list only
