------------------------------------------------------------------------ ircd-ratbox-devel has been successfully installed. Sample 'ircd.conf' and 'ircd.motd' files have been created in the ircd-ratbox configuration directory. A sample configuration file is included for EFNet-like configurations that can be used instead. You should now edit these files as per the ratbox documentation. A configured ircd.conf file is required to start the server. Once you have added ircd_ratbox_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf, the server can be started by running: %%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d/ircd-ratbox start You can check your ircd.conf configuration file for syntactical errors using the following rc.d script command: %%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d/ircd-ratbox conftest The ban.db database can be checked and updated using 'bantool -u'. For safety, updates should be done while no ircd is running and before starting the new version. %%PREFIX%%/bin/bantool -u Note that the ssl_only_channel compile option has been removed, and should be added as a configuration setting (use_sslonly) in the ircd.conf file in order to activate the +S channel mode. Be sure to check out 'ratbox-services' if you need a services package. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
