Synopsis: set auto_new_nick [on|off|toggle] Description: When turned on, this setting will cause the client to try to auto- matically generate a new nickname during connection to a server if the default choice is not available. The new nickname is based on the chosen nickname, and the client may try up to 9 to 17 variations of it before giving up and prompting for a new nickname to be typed in. If it is turned off, the client will always prompt for a new nickname to be typed in if the client cannot use the default choice. See Also: nick(1); on(5) disconnect, 436; server(1); window(4) server
