 We use ZNC for bouncing services (irc-bouncer:6676). Apparently you add new users [[http://wiki.znc.in/FAQ#How_do_I_add_a_new_user.3F|like this]]. This amounts to:-
+  * Use ''znc --makepass'' to generate a sha256 password hash
   * Ignore their whining about not editing the config and add:
   <User frank>
-        Pass = supersecret
+        Pass = sha256#password#salt#
         Nick = frank
         AltNick = frank_1

+===== SSL notes =====
+As of 2020, ZNC is now listening with [[https://irc.wormnet.eu:6697/|SSL/TLS on port 6697]].
+Browsers might not enjoy connecting to "naughty" ports, and might need hidden knobs tweaking, eg ''network.security.ports.banned.override'' on Firefox.
+===== Authentication notes =====
+There's a difference between a nick password and a connection password. Some clients, like Thunderbird, seem not to believe in the sensibilities of the latter--although they left hidden knobs ''messenger.account.account0.options.username'' and ''messenger.account.account0.options.serverPassword'' (browse about:config and replace the ''0'' with the relevant number).
