The DarkFire IRCd daemon is a modern and efficient IRCd for small and medium sized networks. This IRCd is designed for use primarily on the DarkFire IRC Network, but can be used freely elsewhere.

Installation:

First, obtain a secret.h file if your network requires it. Contact an administrator if you are linking to DarkFire to obtain our file.

Automatically gather system information.

./configure

Generate server configuration files.

./config

Build and install the IRCd to the location you specified in ./config

make install

or (same result)

make; cp src/ircd

Copy configuration files (ircd.conf and ircd.motd) if available. To create an ircd.conf automatically:

./mkconf

The Message of the Day (ircd.motd) file may be created with any text editor

Run your IRCd:

./ircd

Note: if you install ircd in a different location, this may differ

What's New in This Release:
Numeric 001 sends real host, not disguised host (fixes DCC issues)
Added fix for _res link errors
ULine exempt from SVSMODE +Z (just in case)
Cleaned up command line interface, added help (ircd -h)
Fixed errors on failed ircd starts
Do not update counts (/lusers info) more than once every 2 seconds
Added an implementation of NICKIP for local clients only: currently applies to dvs kills, klines/akills, and channel bans
