## BitlBee default configuration file

## Comments are marked like this. The rest of the file is INI-style. The
## comments should tell you enough about what all settings mean.
##
[settings]
## RunMode:
##
## Inetd -- Run from inetd (default)
## Daemon -- Run as a stand-alone daemon, serving all users from one process.
## This saves memory if there are more users, the downside is that when one
## user hits a crash-bug, all other users will also lose their connection.
## ForkDaemon -- Run as a stand-alone daemon, but keep all clients in separate
## child processes. This should be pretty safe and reliable to use instead
## of inetd mode.
##
##RunMode = Daemon
## User:
##
## If BitlBee is started by root as a daemon, it can drop root privileges,
## and change to the specified user.
##
##User = bitlbee
## DaemonPort/DaemonInterface:
##
## For daemon mode, you can specify on what interface and port the daemon
## should be listening for connections.
##
##DaemonInterface = 127.0.0.1
DaemonPort = 6667
## ClientInterface:
##
## If for any reason, you want BitlBee to use a specific address/interface
## for outgoing traffic (IM connections, HTTP(S), etc.), set it here.
##
# ClientInterface = 0.0.0.0
## AuthMode
##
## Open -- Accept connections from anyone, use NickServ for user authentication.
## (default)
## Closed -- Require authorization (using the PASS command during login) before
## allowing the user to connect at all.
## Registered -- Only allow registered users to use this server; this disables
## the register- and the account command until the user identifies himself.
##
# AuthMode = Open
## AuthPassword
##
## Password the user should enter when logging into a closed BitlBee server.
## You can also have an MD5-encrypted password here. Format: "md5:", followed
## by a hash as generated for the <user password=""> attribute in a BitlBee
## XML file (for now there's no easier way to generate the hash).
##
# AuthPassword = ItllBeBitlBee ## Heh.. Our slogan. ;-)
## or
# AuthPassword = md5:gzkK0Ox/1xh+1XTsQjXxBJ571Vgl
## OperPassword
##
## Password that unlocks access to special operator commands.
##
# OperPassword = ChangeMe!
## or
# OperPassword = md5:I0mnZbn1t4R731zzRdDN2/pK7lRX
## HostName
##
## Normally, BitlBee gets a hostname using getsockname(). If you have a nicer
## alias for your BitlBee daemon, you can set it here and BitlBee will identify
## itself with that name instead.
##
# HostName = localhost
## MotdFile
##
## Specify an alternative MOTD (Message Of The Day) file. Default value depends
## on the --etcdir argument to configure.
##
# MotdFile = /etc/bitlbee/motd.txt
## ConfigDir
##
## Specify an alternative directory to store all the per-user configuration
## files. (.nicks/.accounts)
##
ConfigDir = /var/lib/bitlbee
## Ping settings
##
## BitlBee can send PING requests to the client to check whether it's still
## alive. This is not very useful on local servers, but it does make sense
## when most clients connect to the server over a real network interface.
## (Public servers) Pinging the client will make sure lost clients are
## detected and cleaned up sooner.
##
## PING requests are sent every PingInterval seconds. If no PONG reply has
## been received for PingTimeOut seconds, BitlBee aborts the connection.
##
## To disable the pinging, set at least one of these to 0.
##
# PingInterval = 180
# PingTimeOut = 300
## Using proxy servers for outgoing connections
##
## If you're running BitlBee on a host which is behind a restrictive firewall
## and a proxy server, you can tell BitlBee to use that proxy server here.
## The setting has to be a URL, formatted like one of these examples:
##
## (Obviously, the username and password are optional)
##
## Proxy = http://john:doe@proxy.localnet.com:8080
## Proxy = socks4://socksproxy.localnet.com
## Proxy = socks5://socksproxy.localnet.com
[defaults]
## Here you can override the defaults for some per-user settings. Users are
## still able to override your defaults, so this is not a way to restrict
## your users...
## To enable private mode by default, for example:
## private = 1
