identify and its cross-references

identify

You must identify yourself to change your settings if your nick is
secure, and to use channel management commands.  In ircII on chiark,
just say `/blight-id'.  For other clients, see `help identpass'.
Once you are identified you can then register new nicks, change
settings, etc. - so long as you remain on a channel that I'm on too
(see `help invite').  See also `help register'.

blight-id

/blight-id is a command available in ircII (and possibly other
clients) on chiark.  It sets up a password if you don't already have
one, and then uses it to identify you to Blight.  If you want to
change your password, delete the file ~/.userv/irc-pass-md5.
See `help register' and `help identpass'.

identpass

identpass <username> <password>
 Identifies you to Blight.  To set up your password, or be reminded
 of it, run the shell command `irc-blight-id' on chiark.
 (On ircII on chiark `/blight-id' is easier, see `help blight-id'.)
 See `help identpass-internals' for technical details.

invite

invite <nick> ...             on channel
invite <channel> <nick> ...   privately
 This command gets me to invite the specified people to the channel.
 This is useful because only IRC channel operators can use /invite.
 This can be disabled for managed channels - see `help userinvite'.
To get me to join a channel, a channel operator should /invite me.

register

register            register your nick (or make it secure)
register delete     delete your nick registration
register insecure   register your nick insecurely
 I only store settings for registered nicks.  For `insecure' nicks
 anyone who currently holds that nick can change its settings (see
 `help set', including securing it to their username.  `secure'
 nicks can only have their settings changed by the user to which they
 are registered, after identifying themselves (see `help identify').
