DareNET Server Configuration

The initial configuration for a DareNET server is fairly basic. To start, you will only need to include the following lines in your ircd.conf: M,A,Y,I,C,Dd,Oo,P

The remaining lines are automatically configured, added and updated via our linesync program from a central site, which is maintained by our Routing Team. Below is an example of an initial configuration file for DareNET.

# [M:line]
# Basic information about your server.
# NOTE: Numerics are assigned by the Routing Team.
# M:<server name>:<ip address>:<description>::<numeric>

# [A:line]
# Information shown when someones does a /ADMIN for the server
# A:<line 1>:<line 2>:<line 3>
