## Introduction
04

alex
05
2020-03-29
alex
*ngIRCd* is a free, portable and lightweight *Internet Relay Chat* ([IRC])
06
2020-03-29
alex
server for small or private networks, developed under the terms of the GNU
07

General Public License ([GPL]); please see the file `COPYING` for licensing
08

information.

The server is quite easy to configure, can handle dynamic IP addresses, and
11
2020-05-26
alex
optionally supports IDENT, IPv6 connections, SSL-protected links, and PAM for
12
2020-05-26
alex
user authentication as well as character set conversion for legacy clients. The
13
2020-05-26
alex
server has been written from scratch and is not based on the "forefather", the
14
2020-05-26
alex
daemon of the IRCNet.

The name ngIRCd means *next-generation IRC daemon*, which is a little bit
17
2020-03-29
alex
exaggerated: *lightweight Internet Relay Chat server* most probably would have
18
2020-03-29
alex
been a better name :-)

## Status

2020-05-26

ngIRCd should be quite feature-complete and stable to be used as a daemon in
26
2020-05-26
alex
real-world IRC networks.

It is not the goal of ngIRCd to implement all the nasty behaviors of the
29
2020-03-29
alex
original ircd, but to implement most of the useful commands and semantics
30
2020-03-29
alex
specified by the RFCs that are used by existing clients.
