33   Compatibility
34   -------------
35  
36 < Bahamut (tested with 1.4.28 -> 1.4.34)
37 < Hybrid (tested with 2.8/hybrid-5.3p8, ircd-hybrid-6.3 and ircd-hybrid-7)
38 < Unreal (tested with 3.1.2 and 3.2)
39 < Dancer (tested with 1.0.31)
40 < Ultimate IRCD (tested with UltimateIRCd(Tsunami)-3.0(00).a22) - please
41 < note, earlier versions of Ultimate IRCD are *not* supported
42 <
44 < BOPM is designed for the Bahamut and Hybrid IRCds.   It is easily
45 < suitable for any other ircd with little modification (connregex in bopm.conf).
46 < However, if an ircd does not send IP's in a connection notice (bahamut sends
47 < [IP]), BOPM will not be effective because the time it takes to resolve a
48 < hostname would be a significant factor to BOPM's efficiency.
49 <
50 < If you want to use BOPM but you don't think your ircd supports it then please
51 < contact us.  As long as source is available for your ircd then we can almost
52 < certainly make BOPM work with it.
53 <
54 < Any questions regarding compatibility should be sent to the developers. If
55 < feasible we might be able to add compatibility to multiple ircd types to the
56 < project in the future.

45   Command Line Options
46   --------------------
47  
48 < -c <name>       Config name.  By default BOPM reads bopm.conf, "-c foo"
49 <                will cause BOPM to read foo.conf.  The primary use for
50 <                this is to run multiple BOPMs from one directory.

50 >                this is to run multiple HOPMs from one directory.
51  
52 < -d              Debug mode.  BOPM will not fork, and will write logs to stderr.
52 > -d              Debug mode. HOPM will not fork, and will write logs to stderr.
53                  Multiple -d increase debug level.

61                                     NOTE: this will NOT add a kline (or whatever) if it finds a
62 <                                   proxy.  This is a change from 2.x.

79   Logging
80   -------
81  
82 < Once started, BOPM logs all significant events to a file called "bopm.log"
83 < which by default can be found at $HOME/bopm/var/bopm.log.  There is also a
82 > Once started, HOPM logs all significant events to a file called "hopm.log"
83 > which by default can be found at $HOME/hopm/var/hopm.log. There is also a
84   config option to log all proxy scans initiated, which can be quite useful if
85   you receive an abuse report related to portscanning.
86  
87 < These log files, especially the scan log, can grow quite large.  It is
88 < suggested that you arrange for these files to be rotated periodically.  An
89 < example shell script is provided in the contrib/logrotate directory.  If you

90   prefer to use the log rotation facilities of your operating system then you
91 < should send a USR1 signal to BOPM after moving its logfiles - this will cause
92 < BOPM to reopen those files.

94  
95   Support
96   -------
97  
98 < BOPM has a mailing list for general discussion and announcements.  CVS
99 < commit emails are also sent there and that is also the place to mail your
100 < patches (unless they are massive, in which case just post a URL).  You can
101 < subscribe to this list from:
116 <
117 <  http://lists.blitzed.org/listinfo/bopm
118 <
119 < Also check if your question is answered on the BOPM FAQ:
120 <
121 <  http://blitzed.org/bopm/faq.phtml
122 <
123 < No IRC support currently exists for BOPM.  If you would like to run such a
124 < support channel, please let us know so that we can list it here.

127 < Compatibility Notes
128 < -------------------
129 <
130 < o Unreal Ircd
131 <
132 <  For *older* versions of Unreal to work,  patches to fix the HCN connect
133 <  notices (found at http://www.blitzed.org/files/) must be applied.
134 <
135 <  Unreal 3.1.3 seems to require opers to be global if they are to see
136 <  connection notices.
137 <    -- prince@avalon.zirc.org
138 <
139 <  Later versions of Unreal require different user modes to be set on BOPM for
140 <  it to see connection notices.  You will need to use
141 <
142 <      mode = "+sc";
143 <
144 <  in your bopm.conf.  Also later versions of Unreal no longer require patching
145 <  as described above.
146 <   -- prince@avalon.zirc.org
147 <
148 < o IRCu
149 <
150 <  IRCu does not present a banner to clients when they connect, so
151 <  target_string, target_ip and target_port must use some other service besides
152 <  ircd.  For those with root access to their servers, the following inetd.conf
153 <  example is an easy fix for this:
154 <
155 <  # BOPM proxy check string
156 <  16667 stream  tcp nowait nobody /bin/echo echo Open Proxy Check
157 <
158 <  target_string can then be set to "Open Proxy Check", and target_ip/target_port
159 <  set to your IP and port 16667.
160 <
161 <  If you don't want to do the above, you could use any other service on
162 <  your machine that presents a banner.  We would recommend against using
163 <  port 25 because it is common for providers to transparently proxy port
164 <  25.
165 <
166 <  Also, to see connect notices, your bopm should set itself umode "+s +16384".
167 <  There is a config file item for setting umodes.
