ircd-hybrid-6 README -------------------- $Id$ If you don't read this first, we won't help you. :-) See the INSTALL document for info on configuring and compiling ircd-hybrid. IMPORTANT. I/K line handling has changed significantly. There are also many new types of conf lines. Please see RELNOTES and doc/example.conf for more information. The default port is no longer specified in the M line, you must add a specific P line for it. TRANSLATION: You *MUST* fix your conf before upgrading from hybrid-5. LOTS OF THINGS HAVE CHANGED IN CONFIG.H. PLEASE READ THROUGH IT. VERY IMPORTANT. The files, /etc/services, /etc/protocols, and /etc/resolv.conf, MUST be readable by the user running the server in order for ircd to start. Errors from adns causing the ircd to refuse to start up are often related to permission problems on these files. There is now a mailing list for general discussion of Hybrid. To subscribe to the Hybrid List, send email to listmanager@the-project.org with a single line in the body containing "subscribe hybrid". SOLARIS USERS: this code appears to tickle a bug in older gcc and egcs ONLY on 64-bit Solaris7. gcc-2.95 and SunPro C on 64bit should work fine, and any gcc or SunPro compiler on 32bit. SUPPORTED PLATFORMS: this code should compile without any warnings on Cygwin 1.3.6, FreeBSD 3.x/4.x, RedHat 4.2/6.1/7.1, and Solaris 8/sparc. Please let us know if you find otherwise. It probably does not compile on AIX, HPUX, or IRIX.
