Open DC hub is a Unix/Linux version of the hub software for the Direct Connect network. Direct Connect is a file sharing network made up by hubs, to which clients can connect.
Once connected to a hub, the user can search for files on the hub or the network, or browse files of other users connected to the hub.
Here are some key features of "Open DC Hub":
Searching for files
Connecting to users, both in active and passive mode
Messaging in open chat
Private messaging
Registering users
Kicking users (for OP:s)
Banning users (for Admins)
Uploading hub address and description to public hub list
Hublinking, which makes it possible to search on other hubs connected to the network
Administration of the hub from chat
Scripting (In Perl)
The hub is run as a daemon, i.e, it runs in the background. It's administrated through a tcp connection, for example with telnet, which makes it possible to administer remotely, given that the user has the administration password. It's also possible to administer the hub directly from the chat in Direct Connect.
The software should run on all POSIX compliant operating systems, but the main testing has so far been done on GNU/Linux-x86 and Solaris-Ultrasparc. Please tell me if you fail or succeed in running it on other platforms.
