Accessing to SILC

[Luc Pellissier]

Hello

I haven't been hanging out on the SILC Étoilé channel for quite a long time. I tried today to join it again, and Colloquy asks me for a password in order to reach the server. It never had before.

I've searched on the Étoilé website, but nothing is mentioned about this change (if there was any). So, did you guys change anything to the SILC server setup ? Is this password thing meant to be ? Shouldn't the password be more widely available ? Is it even necessary/useful ?

Luc.

Hey Luc,
I don't think there is a password on the server - not sure why  
Colloquy is asking for one. With the command-line SILC client, you are  
asked for your private key password, which you choose the first time  
you run SILC - but I don't remember if Colloquy does this.

Unfortunately the only SILC client I have found which is reliable is  
the official command line one - I think you can get it on OS X from  
macports. Colloquy used to work for me (but crash often), now I can't  
even connect with it.

Confirm: Colloquy works for me (but didn't at all for a while) but
crashes/logs out of the silc channel occasionally. I haven't got
Pidgin or any other gui client to work with silc on Linux.

Nothing has changed. I just connected to the silc channel one hour ago  
with Colloquy to be sure. I'm using Colloquy 2.3 (4258, which is not  
the latest release). This versions works great on Mac OS X 10.5 and  
10.6 in my case. It crashes very rarely.

Cheers,
Quentin.
