## Installation

First, Set up a new user to privsep.

    $ doas useradd -m -g=uid -c "psybnc" -d /home/psybnc -s /bin/ksh psybnc
    $ doas adduser
    $ doas su psybnc


Install c-ares then build psybnc:

    $ doas pkg_add libcares
    $ cd
    $ ftp http://psybnc.org/download/psyBNC-2.4.3.tar.gz
    $ tar zxf psyBNC-2.4.3.tar.gz
    $ rm psyBNC-2.4.3.tar.gz
    $ cd psybnc
    $ make


Inside `psybnc.conf`:

    PSYBNC.SYSTEM.PORT1=1314
    PSYBNC.SYSTEM.HOST1=*
    PSYBNC.SYSTEM.PORT2=21314
    PSYBNC.SYSTEM.HOST2=S=*
    PSYBNC.HOSTALLOWS.ENTRY0=*;*


## Running

    $ ./psybnc


It is possible then you may wish to see [[openbsd/rcd]] to add psybnc to system startup.

## Usage

When interacting with psybnc

    NICK nickname
    USER nickname nickname example.ircnow.org :nickname


all fields must be filled in -- it checks ident for login

To change nicks on a different network:

/nick #ircnow~jrmu

I could not figure out how to send a raw command to a specific network, so I just made ircnow the main network

to send a privmsg to a specific network

    /query #network~nickname hello, world!
    /query #ircnow~Nickserv identify password


To add a network:

    /quote addnetwork network


For no SSL:

    /quote addserver network~irc.example.com :6667


For SSL:

    /quote addserver network~S=irc.example.com :6697


Be careful, if it defaults to IPv4 and you attempt to connect IPv6, psybnc crashes **each and every time** you load it
