There is a list of public servers on the [[websites]] page.
+
A '''public server''' allows one to play [[NetHack]] or a [[variant]] in a shared space on the Internet where one can encounter other people's [[bones]] and see [[score]]s in the server's score list. Most [[NetHack]] servers usually also add some interface [[patch]]es and [[bug]] fixes; this list will not specify those. You may also choose to watch someone's game that is in progress.
  
−
Consider using [[nethack.alt.org]] and [[slashem.crash-override.net]]; both allow you to [[telnet]] in and play games or watch games in progress. They also have [[sortloot]] and [[menucolors]].
+
You can access a public server by using a [[telnet]] or SSH client, such as PuTTY on Windows (see the [[PuTTY]] page for recommended settings) or <tt>ssh</tt> (OpenSSH) on Linux, other UNIX systems, MacOS, or (under Windows) WSL. Some public servers may not accept both telnet and SSH.

A public server allows one to play NetHack or a variant in a shared space on the Internet where one can encounter other people's bones and see scores in the server's score list. Most NetHack servers usually also add some interface patches and bug fixes; this list will not specify those. You may also choose to watch someone's game that is in progress.

You can access a public server by using a telnet or SSH client, such as PuTTY on Windows (see the PuTTY page for recommended settings) or ssh (OpenSSH) on Linux, other UNIX systems, MacOS, or (under Windows) WSL. Some public servers may not accept both telnet and SSH.

Setting up your own server

There are several ways to manage your public NetHack server, but the most common is to use dgamelaunch, which manages user accounts and runs the NetHack processes in a chroot jail when a user telnets into the server.

For FreeBSD, there is a work-in-progress document describing how to set up a NetHack server with dgamelaunch, and also provides patches to make auto-login work with FreeBSD telnetd.

Archives

Some servers may provide access to archives of data.
