ratbox-services is a services package written mostly from scratch for use with ircd-ratbox.

It is highly configurable, with nearly all options being set in a config that can be rehashed rather than set at compile time. It also uses the SQLite database backend, which works as a database interface to a normal file, meaning no seperate database software must be running.

Username registration service

Allows users to register usernames, which then form the basis of all access to channels.

Channel registration services

Allows users to maintain channels, with access levels from 1 to 200.

Nickname registration service

Allows users to register nicknames, registered through a username.

Jupe service

Allows services operators to place jupes on servers, which prevents the server from reconnecting to the network. Also contains an optional method for ircops to vote upon jupes and unjupes.

Global message service

Allows services operators to send a message to all users on the network.

Oper services

Allows services operators to perform mode changes in a channel, and takeover channels.

Opered bot

The opered bot can be placed in channels, and will then invite or op ircops in that channel upon request.

List service

Allows users to perform advanced searching of the list of channels. Searching may take place on name, user count, topic and modes.
