use/gettin_started.rst: talk more about hostmasks
Adding strict hostmask isn't the only option, you can use wildcards and the most used wildcards are now explained. * any nick with specific ident (*!ident@host) * server which doesn't have bots, but has multiple users * anything with specific host (*!*@host) * cloaks/vhosts

@ -117,6 +117,41 @@ of the person giving the command. So the command above adds the hostmask I'm
|
||||
currently using to my user's list of recognized hostmasks. I'm only required
|
||||
to give mypassword if I'm not already identified with the bot.
|
||||
|
||||
It might often be better to specify the hostmask by yourself instead of
|
||||
nesting the hostmask command as the hostmask command gives your exact
|
||||
hostmask of that moment meaning ``nick!ident@host`` which means that you
|
||||
will get unidentified if you change your nickname.
|
||||
|
||||
I (Mikaela) often specify hostmasks in two other forms depending on the
|
||||
situation which I go through in next subtopics.
|
||||
|
||||
Wildcard nick
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
In case my username and host stay the same or there aren't bots on same
|
||||
server which could get identified as me to other bots, I use::
|
||||
|
||||
user hostmask add myuser *!myident@myhost
|
||||
|
||||
I only recommend this if there is ident server configured and the IRC
|
||||
network checks for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Host only
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
In case I am the only one who has the same host (cloaks/vhosts on many
|
||||
networks which have account in them, (for example freenode) or server where
|
||||
no one else has access and no bots share it either), I use::
|
||||
|
||||
user hostmask add myuser *!*@mycloak
|
||||
|
||||
Mycloak at freenode is usually in format ``unaffiliated/accountname``. You
|
||||
can usually request hostmasks using HostServ, ``/msg HostServ help``, or
|
||||
asking on help channel of your IRC network, in case of freenode that is
|
||||
#freenode. OFTC is exception to this and uses
|
||||
``/msg NickServ set cloak on``, but whatever your network users, you can
|
||||
ask it on their help channel.
