DareNET IRCd Configuration

General

Old M:line

The General {} block defines some information about the server itself.

General 
{
  name = "servername";
  vhost = "ipv4vhost";
  description = "description";
  numeric = numericnumber;
};

<virtual host> must contain either a * or a valid IPv4 address in dotted quad notation (e.g. 127.0.0.1). The address MUST be the address of a physical interface on the host. This address is used for outgoing connections only; see Port {} blocks for listener virtual hosting. If in doubt what to put here, use the IP of your primary interface here.

Note that <server numeric> must be unique on the network the server is running, and may be between 0 and 4095. It is not updated on a rehash. If linking to DareNET, you should use the numeric assigned to you by the Server Management team.

Example block:

<source lang="perl">General {

 name = "servername.area.zone.darenet.org";
 description = "DareNET Client Server";
 vhost = "127.0.0.1";
 numeric = 10;

};</source>
