x509 Authentication for SSL IRC

Does anyone know if it's possible to do client authentication with x509 signed certificates on any IRCd server? We'd like to set up a work irc server (yes, that's really what we want), but it'd be a bugger to have it inside our VPN. We know we can…

IRC Services with failover support?

I run a single server (call it 'server A') IRC 'network', and thank to the generosity of some friends, I have been given a second server ('server B') that I can run an IRCd on in order to provide redundancy in case server A crashes. This is fine, I…

How do you set default IRC channels on a server?

I'm helping to setup an ircd-hybrid server at work and I was wondering how to set some default channels on the server. I've gotten far enough to find how to block some channels with a resv in the ircd.conf file, but I'm not sure how to allow…

Risks of letting ZNC have my private SSL key

I have a single VPS running a few websites and also my ZNC IRC bouncer. I purchased a wildcard SSL certificate for all my subdomains (this was silly; it would've been much cheaper just to purchase several single-domain certs, but whatever). I have…

IRC bot for gitolite?

Does anyone know of an IRC bot that I can hook git repositories up to, or hook directly into gitolite? Do I have to write it myself? CIA isn't an option in this case.
