NAME

       iauth - The Internet Relay Chat Authentication Program

SYNOPSIS

       iauth  [ -v | -c configfile ]

DESCRIPTION

       iauth  is  a  slave  process  used  by  the  ircd program to perform the authentication of
       incoming TCP connections.  The ircd program starts iauth upon startup.

       iauth will close and reopen the log file whenever it receives a user  signal  2,  SIGUSR2.
       This is useful to rotate the log file.

OPTIONS

       -c filename
              When  this  flag is given, the program will read the configuration file specify and
              validate it.  This is useful to check for errors in the setup.

       -v     This option dumps information about the version.

EXAMPLE

              millennium% iauth -c iauth.conf
              iauth 2.10
