Creating a BitlBee account
The first task is to create an account on your BitlBee server. This is a new account that will
manage your BitlBee connections. Later, we can log back in with this account to load our
configuration. Otherwise, we would have to repeat the following steps each time we con-
nect. Since BitlBee is an IRC gateway, all the commands to BitlBee have an IRC feel to
them. Registration is performed by typing the following command in the
&bitlbee
chan-
nel:
register <password>
Your password will be echoed back to you and the root user should reply with:
Account successfully created
With BitlBee, it's important to get into the habit of saving often. Otherwise, changes are not
persistent. Saving is simply done by typing
save
into the
&bitlbee
channel. Go ahead
and save now.
