What is a unix shell account, and why do I need
one ?
A unix shell account does not directly connect
you to the Internet. Instead you must be already connected
to the Internet, and you access the shell account through
telnet. You log onto your shell provider's computer operating
system (its shell) with a user name and password. From the
shell, you can run Internet tools that are available on
the shell provider's computer. A shell account for eggdrop
purposes (and most any other purpose that I know of, including
web pages) should be a form of Unix.

What is eggdrop ? [ http://www.eggheads.org ]
Eggdrop is the world's most popular Open Source IRC bot,
designed for flexibility and ease of use, and is freely
distributable under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Eggdrop was originally developed by Robey Pointer; however,
he no longer works on Eggdrop so please do not contact him
for help solving a problem or bug.
Some features of Eggdrop:
- Designed to run on Linux, *BSD, SunOs, Windows, Mac
OS X, etc ...
- Extendable with Tcl scripts and/or C modules
- Support for the big five IRC networks (Undernet, DALnet,
EFnet, IRCnet, and QuakeNet)
- The ability to form botnets and share partylines and
userfiles between bots
Some benefits of Eggdrop:
- The oldest IRC bot still in active development (Eggdrop
was created in 1993)
- Established IRC help channels and web sites dedicated
to Eggdrop
- Thousands of premade Tcl scripts and C modules
- Best of all ... It's FREE!
Why should I run a Unix-based eggdrop ?
Unix was written in 1968, so alot of people ask
why they should be running their eggdrop bot on such an
outdated system. Unix is not outdated, and probably will
not be for a long time. Because Unix was given free to universities
and colleges, people all over the world have worked on its
code, shared knowledge, and fixed bugs for 30 years. Unix
is, because of this, an extremely stable system. It also
uses less resources to run, crashes very little, very rarely
needs to be rebooted, and is not as suseptible to DoS attacks
(Denial of Service, ie: nukes). Windows on the other hand
needs to be rebooted often, crashes often, and is extremely
suseptible to DOS attacks (nukes).

What is BNC ? [ http://www.gotbnc.com
]
BNC is a great IRC (Internet Relay Chat) proxying
server under the GPL (General Public License). It allows
users to connect to chat servers by bouncing off the computer
which is running BNC. Basically, it forwards the information
from the user to the server and vise versa.
Why do people use it? There are several reasons for people
to use BNC. Some people use BNC because their computers
do not have direct access to the Internet. Thus, inorder
for them to chat from their workstations, they must have
a proxy server to forward data. Other people use BNC for
security. Because of BNC's unique property, It sends the
IP address of the host computer to the IRC server, thus
the real address of the user is hidden from others.
If you know nothing about bncs, a bnc is short for a 'bouncer.'
A bnc acts as a proxy for irc, allowing you to hide your
real IP address and use a vhost (vanity host - something
like 'this.is.a.l33t.vhost.com'). What are the advantages
of this? Well, mainly there's just one important one: It'll
stop stupid packet kiddies from trying to knock you off
the network. Everyone hates getting disconnected, and with
a bnc on a decent shell, you should be pretty immune. Remember
though: the kiddies can still nuke you, but it is assumed
that the shell provider has a high-bandwidth line that allows
it to withstand the numerous packets. If your shell is on
a 56.6, you'll still be screwed.
Why psybnc ?
There are a variety of other open source bnc's
available for you to download, most notably EZBounce and
plain-ol BNC. Both of these do the exact same basic thing
as psybnc: hide your real host. But that's about where the
similarity ends. I've been using psyBNC for a long time
now, and I love with all the features that it offers. To
name a few:
· You'll always be connected to irc. Even when you
close your irc client, psy will maintain your connection.
When you connect later, you'll instantly be back on the
channels you left. This also lets you hold your nick (if
you need that feature), or hold ops on a channel.
· psy hides your IP even in DCC sessions. In other
bncs, a direct client-client session is opened, thus revealing
your IP. In psy, the connection is bounced through the shell,
and your IP remains your dirty little secret ;)
· You can link multiple psy's together. This allows
you to share vhosts, use your own personal vhost, and also
create a small ircd, termed the 'internal' network on the
bncs.
· psyBNC now supports SSL. woohoo :)))
There are tons more features, but you can just download
the source and view the README. Currentl the latest psyBNC
release is psyBNC2.3.2-2 can be download from psych0id official
website.
Now... for the first part of this tutorial, the Basic section,
I assume you have little or no experience with shells/irc.
For the Intermediate section, though, I assume you can hold
your own. For most users, the Basic is as far as they need
to go, but all the fun stuff is a bit more complicated.
What is BitchX ?
BitchX was started by Trench and HappyCrappy as a script
for the ircII client.
Around Christmas of 1994, the script was patched directly
into the client by Colten Edwards, aka panasync
(this was around the time of BitchX-36). Now, nearly ten
years old in its client form,
BitchX continues to expand and change around the IRC of
today. A big shout out goes to Colten
for taking the time and effort to continuing to further
this excellent program.
