  FEATURES

  * Access configuration to specify hostnames or IP-addresses, allowed or denied
    access to the ircproxy.

  * Username/Password authentication.

  * Users allowed to connect to the proxy is either defined in a configuration
    file, or the ircproxy can be ran as root and username/passwords are verified
    by the system (/etc/passwd).

  * Who can access the proxy is verified by usernames and passwords, but no
    additional commands are required to be sent by the IRC client for
    authentication, usernames and passwords is verified from the username set in
    the IRC Client and the server password set in the IRC client.

  * Real IRC connections are defined in a configuration file and stay connected
    to IRC independent of users. This also give ircproxy administrator control
    over where users connect.

  * The ircproxy will automatically set correct ident for a IRC connection when
    the ircproxy is run as root and the unix machine has a ident server running.

  * Eventually a optional built-in ident daemon can be enabled.

  * Multiple users can connect to the ircproxy and have as many IRC connections
    defined as they wish.

  * Users can connect to the ircproxy from multiple machines at the same time and
    share one single connection.

  * The ircproxy can listen to multiple host:ports for incoming connections.

  * Optional logging for connections, log files can be placed in users home
    directory if the proxy is ran as root.

  * SendQ mechanism to prevent connections from sending to much data and being
    disconnected for "Excess Flood". Data sent out to the IRC server can be
    limited by buffer/seconds and lines/seconds.
