DALnet #Sibu Channel - Guides on Services Command

NickServ

Register

Command syntax:

/nickserv register y0urPassword your@email.address

Command description

This command registers the nick of the user to the

NickServ database. It sets a nick access password as well

as a valid email address for authentication purpose.

Command example

If Nice^Nick is not registered by someone else and you

would like to be the proud owner of this nick, then you

need to ensure that you are currently using this nick.

If you are currently not using Nice^Nick, you need to

type /nick Nice^Nick <enter>

To register this nick, you can type:

/nickserv register mYS3cr3tPass nicenick@sibu.dal.net

What Next?

Your Nice^Nick is not fully registered yet and you will

have to check your mail box for a confirmation mail

send to you from DALnet. Read this mail carefully to

avoid unnecessary misunderstanding or problem(s)

which are related to your nick.

Near to the end of the mail, you will find a set of

instructions telling you to complete your nick registration

with the AUTH code given. The AUTH code is a very long

string of numbers. Now log on to DALnet and copy the

command line starting from the forward slash "/".

Example,

/msg nickserv@services.dal.net AUTH nice^nick 973459497394

Paste the above command into your status window and

hit that <enter> key. If you bump into problem,then I

would suggest you type the following in your status

window (replace whatever is necessary with actual data):

/nickserv auth nice^nick 973459497394

Now hit that <enter> key and you should be congratulated

for being proud owner of this Nice^Nick.

Special requirement

1) The nick you want to register must not have been

registered by someone else;

2) You must enter a valid email address so that you can

receive the Authentication mail containing the AUTH code;

3) Allow at least up to 48 hours for the mail to reach you.

Under normal circumstances, the mail should be sent to

you within a couple of minutes. If DALnet mail Servers

(Daemon) are busy or flooded, then more time is required.

4) Starting from the time when the Authentication mail is

despatched to you, you are given 48 hours to enter the

AUTH code. Failure to enter AUTH code will render your nick's

expiry and you will have to go through the registration

procedure once again.

Comments

The nick password you use is Case-Sensitive and you are

advised to write it down somewhere only for your own

reference. Guard your nick password or else you are

going to learn a tough lesson.
