## 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 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
