Right.. Good you solved it. cheers o/
It turns out I had not registered with NickServ.
Once I did "/msg NickServ register password em...@example.com", ran the
command they emailed me, and updated "/network add -sasl_username username
-sasl_password password -sasl_mechanism PLAIN freenode", then it worked.
I guess you misconfigured it. I attached my config file. Basically you just
need to change the username and the password (please don't steal my password
:P ), and the #chans according to your preference of course..
I recommend the three scripts I use with Irssi, it makes it much more usable,
Thanks for the info. I'm trying out Irssi.
I was able to connect via SSL (verified by a /whois), but SASL was not
working correctly.
I get the error: "Cannot authenticate via SASL (The authentication timed
out)".
Any ideas?
