A KIRE shell is a Linux account on our network. Login with SSH. Run what belongs on a shell: Eggdrop, Limnoria, bots, clients, bouncers, cron jobs, small scripts. Background processes stay up when you disconnect. New eon shells ship with a real IRC toolkit ready.
The search phrase is IRC shell. Same product as these plans.
It is IRC-friendly on purpose. identd, IPv4 and IPv6, vanity vhosts, and DDoS Defense Systems in front of the server — not a blog post about how much we care.
Who it is not for: crypto miners, mass scanners, and people who think “open proxy” is a personality. Keep it light, keep it on IRC, do not make us look at netstat.
