Hello, a question from an (old) newbie to Synchronet BBSI don't think that is supported. I've never had to login to an IRC
configuration: just a quick hint for configuring Chat Section Irc
Client (irc.js) to access a private ircd-hybrid server: where to
input the password required by the Ircd-Hybrid Server? The [chat_sec]
section of modopt.ini does only allow to 1) set irc = on 2) override
irc server/port and channel settings with custom ones. Exploring the
module irc.js was not helpful to me.
Thanks in advance for any support!

I don't think that is supported. I've never had to login to an IRC
server that requires a password in 30 years of IRCing.
Thank you for answering me!How are people going to get on the IRC server, unless you only want it
I've just followed some guides for customizing Ircd Hybrid config (on Raspberry Pi), and usually they suggest to include an encrypted
password authentication for any user, as per the related Ircd config
section:
auth {
user = "*@*";
class = "users";
flags = need_password;
encrypted = yes;
password = "PASSWORD_FROM_mkpasswd";
};
Maybe I just have to consider to remove this if I want to allow
joining from the BBS.
Thanks!

How are people going to get on the IRC server, unless you only want it open to BBS users and you can do that with I:line restrictions anyway, otherwise you have to make a password for every single user who joins? Or you have to give out a common password? Doesn't make sense.

Re: Re: Password setting for Irc Client accessing a private ircMust have been some odd, off the radar IRC network then. EFnet, ircnet, undernet, DALnet never had password protected servers.

I seem to recall seeing one or two IRC servers with passwords in my
time using IRC. And yes, one of the use cases is only having it be
open to a certain group of users.

Oh, it's not a rarity. The ability to login to irc servers using a password is in every irc client i've seen.
I have 6 IRC connections that have been connected for a couple of weeks now. What are they doing? 4 of them show the same IP. I cannot see what they are doing. Is this good or bad? I just ignore them but should I be concerned?

The irc.js didn't support a password "override" (e.g. via command-line), i.e. it always sent to current user's password via the >IRC "PASS" message upon connecting to a server. I just committed a change to allow the sysop to override the password >sent via the '-p' command-line option to irc.js. Please let me know how that works for you.
!EXEC ?irc.js -p "IRCPASSWORD" but this returned some js variable type errors (and, considering my very poor coding attitude, I did not insist).
- the IRC Module 1.62 starts but it does return the error: !Javascript irc.js line 126: Error: can't convert irc-port to an integer
Nope, irc.js is untouched in the exec dir and this is the copy of the whole section:
Anyway, the error seems to imply there was an additional argument provided after the "-p <password>" on the irc.js command-line. I'll re-test the -p option myself and make sure I didn't introduce a bug there, but the code looks okay at a glance.
The error message you quoted said "can't convert irc-port to an integer" - was that error actually copy/pasted, literally, or did you retype it (possibly with a typo)? The reason I ask is "irc-port" does not exist in irc.js, but "irc_port" does (underscore, not dash).
I just ran the current exec/irc.js using the "exec" sysop command: "?irc.js -p password" and there was no error - ran as expected.

Yes, a typo, since I rewrited the error shown in Syncterm.
