NAME
icbd - Internet Citizen's Band protocol daemon

SYNOPSIS
icbd [-46Cdnv] [ -G group1[,...]] [-L prefix] [-M modtab] [-S name] [ addr[:port] ...]

DESCRIPTION
icbd is an Internet Citizen's Band (ICB) protocol daemon which allows peoples to chat online.

Please refer to the document specified in the SEE ALSO section for more information about the ICB protocol.

The options are as follows:

-4  Bind to IPv4 addresses only.

-6  Bind to IPv6 addresses only.

-C  Allow users to create groups. Please note, that everyone creating a new group becomes its moderator.

-d  Do not daemonize. If this option is specified, icbd will run in the foreground and log to stderr.

-G  group1[,...] Instruct icbd to create specified groups on startup.

-L prefix
    Enables logging of all public messages in all groups and specifies a directory inside the chroot that is owned and is writable by the icbd user. The server will create subdirectories matching those of the group names and place log files inside one file per month.

-M modtab
    Specifies a moderator table that can be used to restrict users who can be granted with moderation of any group. The modtab file contains one nick per line; empty lines and lines starting with a hash symbol are ignored. It's located inside the chroot. Every time a moderator check is performed, icbd checks the modification time of the file and reloads the table if any changes have taken place since the last call.

-n  Disable DNS resolver.

-S name
    Set the server's name to name.

-v  Produce more verbose output.

A list of addresses and/or ports to bind to is specified after all arguments. By default, icbd will try to listen on all interfaces using icb protocol port number specified in /etc/services.
