- IPv6: it seems some recent Linux dists decided to make IPv6 sockets IPv6-only, instead of accepting both IPv4&IPv6 on them like until now. FreeBSD (and other *BSD's) already did that move a few years back, requiring server admins to sysctl. We now make use of a new option to explicitly disable "IPv6-only". This should work fine on Linux. Whether it provides a complete solution for FreeBSD, I don't know, testing is welcome! In theory setting net.inet6.ip6.v6only to 0 should no longer be needed, but you might still need to enable ipv6_ipv4mapping. - Fix stupid issue where current CVS would no longer link TO an earlier Unreal server (eg: outgoing connect to a 3.2.8 hub). Reported by ohnobinki (#0003901).
==[ COMPILING ]== To build the ircd, run: ./Config make If you specified an alternative location during ./Config you also need to run "make install". ==[ MAKING A CONFIG FILE ]== If you are new, then you need to create your own configfile: copy doc/example.conf to your main UnrealIRCd directory and call it unrealircd.conf . Then open it in an editor and carefully modify it, consult the docs (doc/unreal32docs.html, or online: www.unrealircd.com/unreal32docs.html) for more information about every block/setting. Common problems are explained in the FAQ, which is located at: http://www.vulnscan.org/UnrealIrcd/faq/ . ==[ BOOTING YOUR IRCD ]== Just type: ./unreal start Note that after booting the errors are usually logged to ircd.log, so check that file if you have any problems. Again, check the FAQ (and docs) if you have any boot problems.
