Version:  3.1.1-Darkshades (STABLE)
Type:     comm/irc
Requires: 68020+, ixemul.library and ixnet.library 48+

PLEASE READ:

I am now compiling Unreal with encrypted Restart/Die and I:Line
passwords on..

Since 3.1-Silverheart(beta3), you will need to re-crypt all of
your passwords with mkpasswd again! UnrealIRCd now supports
ssl connections, and uses a new crypt(), sorry about this..


Introduction:

UnrealIRCd is an IRC server based on the branch of IRCu called
Dreamforge, formerly used by the DALnet IRC Network. Since
development started on it (around May 1999) many new features
has been added, modified, and many bugs fixed. Unreal runs
both on *nix platforms, Amiga & Windows 95/98/2k/NT. Some
features to mention: Channel Halfops, No-color channel mode,
Strip-colors channel mode, channelmode +q & +a - protect
modes, Oper and Admin only channels, exception bans, Nokicks
mode (channel and user), Flood limiter, Channel links, Host
cloaking, Net* Tech and Co-Admin modes, Whois notifies,
Foreign connects monitor, Oper suspend, G:Lines, T:Lines,
channel restriction (people can only go to these channels if
enabled), Trojan/DCC Deny, RPING/RPONG, Sethost family, Token
in server<->server etc. FDlists/High Traffic Mode, SOCKS check
on connect, Speeded up server synchs, limited WebTV Client
support, /vhost, and many dreamforge optimations. UnrealIRCd
is aimed to be an advanced, not an easy IRCd. If you need
support or need to ask questions you can go on IRC, /server
irc.flirt.org and join channel #UnrealIRCd. Or e-mail at
unreal-support@lists.sourceforge.net to get it :)


Installation:

Extract the archive to a place of your choice, make an Unreal:
assign to the Unreal directory. Rename the ircd file you want
to use (nossl or ssl, both are hub) to ircd.

Then configure the ircd.conf, template.network and
unrealircd.conf files to suit your needs.

Use mkpasswd to create passwords for your O-lines..

If you use AmiTCP (NOT Genesis), ignore the following:

Make an ETC: assign to a place of your choice, then make a
file called resolv.conf there, and put in it the following
(case sensitive):

domain <isp domain name>
nameserver <isp dns server ip>

For example:

domain ihug.com.au
nameserver 210.8.138.4

You can have as many nameserver entries as you like..


Usage:

Type in a shell/cli window the following:

CD Unreal:
Run <>NIL: ircd
