This page has been marked as Historical. Information posted here may be inaccurate and out of date. This information is kept for sentimental and/or historical reference purposes.


The initial configuration for a DareNET server is pretty bare bones. This is intentional. You will only need to include information that is specific to the server, the rest will be automatically downloaded and synched with the network the first time you start up the ircd.

NOTE: O-lines should NOT reside physically in ircd.conf. They should be placed in a separate file and included by way of an include:. Additionally, all O-lines are to be encrypted - no exceptions!

Below is an example of an initial ircd.conf for a DareNET server: <geshi lang="cpp" lines=0>

Cron Jobs

The following cronjobs are required, and will be installed by our Routing Team.

linesync

Our linesync program updates your server's configuratuon twice (2x) a day with the latest network-wide settings, including k-lines, q-lines, b-lines, u-lines, h-lines, features and more. In the case of emergency/critical updates, the Routing Team can manually invoke it, bypassing the need to wait for the set interval to elapse.

Example: 

0 */12 * * * /home/user/ircd/linesync.sh /home/user/ircd/ircd.conf /home/user/ircd/ircd.pid

chkircd

This little gem checks if the IRC server is running, and if it isn't, attempts to start it up. This should help keep the ircd up after reboots, or in the case of a server crash.

Example: 

*/5 * * * * /home/user/chkircd.sh
