setting up a irc shell

[babawillis]

stupid queestion but need sugjestion
whats the best configurations to set up a ircd shell on my vds do i give user group or just domain and what to set plesk up like :nuts:

I am not sure how plesk works, but if you are creating a shell acct just for shell use only and not hosting purpose then you don't need to create an acct in Plesk for that user.
Just in ssh prompt as root, type:
adduser <username>
passwd <username>

voila, his/her acct is ready for use

thankyou for your quick reply in that case how do i alocate a ip for that user that will work for that shell :help:

[mikron15]

Its not that easy, it involves setting some rules for iptables. I never attempted doing that, probably some1 else have a success at it?

I'll give you a nudge in the right direction.

First you have to block everything by default for that IP, or afterwards as shown below:

iptables -A OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner [ACCOUNT NAME] --uid-owner nobody -s 205.134.230.** --dport 1:65526 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -s 205.134.230.** -j DROP

I added the additional --uid-owner to nobody so Apache would still work, but it's not required.

If you still don't understand it, Google it :)

i preffer to setup the ircd account by myself, or give to my client an IP just that, not ip tables or something :D
