Our servers are normally used to provide the IRC-Service, but we also need machines that keep our other services running.

If you think you may be able to provide us with a server, the requirements are the same for both JOTI temp servers, and permanent servers, and are as follows:

• GNU/UNIX based OS (for example, Linux, FreeBSD)
• SSH access (key based auth)
  
• file transfer access to server using ftp/scp/sftp (scp preferred)
  
• crontab access
  
• fixed IP address for server, with a stable high speed connection
  

If you have further questions or need to know the exact details of what we need, just contact the TechTeam.

NOTE: providing an IRC server for ScoutLink does NOT provide automatic IRCops for the provider. All servers are administered by the Scoutlink Tech Team.

Any server where the server administrator alters the config files (eg. to add in o:lines, or to add in c/n lines to allow another server to connect) will be disconnected from the network, similarly any server we are unable to log into to update will be disconnected until updates can be made.

We are also looking for servers where we get full root access to run our other services.
