What about a ircd tutorial ?In google there's nothing about the subject(i didn't find any!) and i find irc a great tool for instant messaging.Would be fine also to point the attention to those irc softwares (client and server) that encrypts the communication making people more aware that privacy is an important issue in the free software comunity.
Yeah I must agree. I would also like to see some in depth information about irc and how to set up a decent server.
To be onest ... i copied an example configuration from /usr/share/doc/ircd-ircu/example.conf.gz and i have a default configuration for it.You can have a go and let me know if there is any problem irc.gabrix.ath.cx .I understood part of it but has an its own syntax and i would like to hear from someone maybe knows more than me. I would like to hear more about encryption for example or how to connect your server to a irc network,the proper way of doing it when you first start up. So i'm not the right person to write a tutorial i can't say more than to go and see /usr/share/doc/ircd-ircu/ dir .
Now is giving this error and i haven't changed password in the backup configuration file or mysql either ... very starnge !!!!
they are hard to setup if you NEVER done one before i try once and it won the round and fight but i may try to do one ... ( MAY is the key word here ) i will see how i go and i will let you know
the hard part of the IRCD is the config file settings its takes about an hour or so to get it right so im trying to get that right so i can give an pre-config ver of it out so its just a basic starter ver and you can mod it yourself to your needs the config and compiling is easy part the 2 hrs of hell i had doing that part was easy to the config work lol back to the fun for me ... ) later All
Do you run Debian ? If so have a look at /usr/share/doc/irc-ircu/examples.gz it might be of some help ... but maybe you already done that !
nope i dont use Debian .. [ not a fan] im using opensuse on a test at the time and going to try it on FC and open/freeBSD as well so thats tabs care of most of the OS that people will be using to an IRC server on
what i done so far a lot of typing n a lot of yelling but thats normal ok sides that ... down to the story : i got it working with SSL i got some basic .conf files i done some mods to it like added banlist / sysuser / exceptban so its easyer to add info into them files than loading up the IRC.conf file n finding the right place to add it problems : no serivces : and aheap of normal .. first time loads up ... but its getting there maybe on wednesday i may have 70 % done
Anything you need (the debian /usr/shar/doc/irc-ircu/examples for example) just ask you can contact me on the above skype or msn ... sigh !!!
