**** OBL. DISCLAIMER ****
I only guarantee that this package will take up space on your hard
disk. Other than that it may burn holes in your carpet or scare
your cat. There's absolutely NO warranty whatsoever. If it breaks,
you own both parts.
BTW. If you find a typo in the docs, you may keep it.
If you find 3 you get one for free.
*** Warning: This package REQUIRES a HPFS formatted disk!
*** Warning: If you link servers together, this version
has changed net-burst/net.bounce handling from alpha5
and beta1, resulting in the fact that you cannot link pre-beta2
servers (alpha5, alpha6, beta1) with beta2 or later.
So if you're gonna run a network, use only the latest version.
This server is only protocol-compatible to ircu 2.9.32 and other
ircu 2.10.00 beta 2 and newer servers. Normal EFNET or DALNET type
servers can not interconnect with this server.
*** Note: this version enables the crypt() call, so oper passwords
now have to be encrypted using the included mkpasswd.exe
Link passwords are still unencrypted but can be encrypted if
you grab the source distribution and recompile it yourself.
*** Note: Make sure you update your emx runtime. EMXREV should
put out the following values:
EMX : revision = 50
EMXIO : revision = 50
EMXLIBC : revision = 52
EMXLIBCM : revision = 52
EMXLIBCS : revision = 52
EMXWRAP : revision = 50
Make also sure you don't have older emx-dll's somewhere on your
libpath (emxrev -p x:\config.sys checks this when x is your
bootdrive)
*** END NOTES AND WARNINGS
This OS/2 port of IRCU is done by Thomas@fivemile.rat.de
(caveman99 on undernet)
The according IRCU patchlevel is found in .patches
Quick Start guide:
- make sure you have at least emx0.9c runtime on your system.
If you need it, get emxrt.zip from
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/old/os2/unix/emx09c
- copy the compiled ircd.exe and the compiled chkconf.exe
to the working dir (e.g. d:\tcpip\ircd)
- create a text file called ircd.motd in the same dir
It's a plain text file detailing your Message Of The Day
- copy /doc/example.conf to the working dir and rename it
to ircd.conf. Edit it to suit your needs. It's heavily
commented.
- You have to assign each server on a network a unique number.
See README_SERVER_NUMERIC for details.
- run chkconf.exe. No warnings should show up. If they do,
recheck ircd.conf.
- run ircd.exe. If something went wrong, it traps. (no error
handling as of yet) If all goes well, it starts.
A source release and an experimental version for Windows NT
is also available from ftp.fivemile.rat.de in dir
/pub/Development/beta or from the ircu website
http://www.fivemile.rat.de/ircu
I know much better documentation should be here, it will be
when the final is released.
