Shells FAQ

What distro is the shell server running?

Debian stable (lenny at the time of writing)

Am I allowed to run PsyBNC/znc/shroudbnc/Eggdrop/...

Yes you are allowed to run a wide variety of software, if you have doubts about a specific software package please ask us about it on irc.

We ask you to download all sources at the _official_ websites to avoid any backdoored source. If your processes are backdoored your account can be suspended without notice.

I'm running <random server X> what ports am I allowed to use?

Ports 5000-5500 are forwarded to the shell server. You can use the 'port' command to see what ports are available to you.

For more information on ports, go here shells_ports

There is a package not installed, can you install it?

Usually it will not be a problem to install packages that are available in the debian stable repository.

Drop by on IRC if you have a request.

My account has been suspended, what did I do and can it be undone?

Feel free to drop by on irc to explain the situation. Please do keep it civil.

If a misunderstanding lead to your suspension the staff may re-evaluate it.

Any descision made by the staff is completely at their discretion.
