------------------------------------------------------------------------ ircd-ratbox 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 should be checked and updated using 'bantool -u'. For safety, bantool updates must be done while no ircd is running and before starting the new version. %%PREFIX%%/bin/bantool -u Notice: ircd-ratbox has been updated to follow the current stable release branch (3.0.x). All previous branches are no longer supported by the ratbox team. Users of ircd-ratbox are advised to create new ircd configuration files based on the examples provided. For more information on upgrading, see: http://svn.ratbox.org/svnroot/ircd-ratbox/trunk/INSTALL Be sure to check out 'ratbox-services' if you need a services package. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
