IRCD-Hybrid
-----------

SSL Certificate
===============

For the sake of simplicity a SSL certificate (for use with client SSL
connections) is generated with rather bogus info during after ircd-hybrid
installs. If you would like to change the info in the certificate, edit
/etc/ircd-hybrid/cert.cnf, and then run as root:

openssl req -config /etc/ircd-hybrid/cert.cnf -new -x509 -key /etc/ircd-hybrid/key/ircd.key -out /etc/ircd-hybrid/key/ircd.pem -days 365

You will probably want to restart the server after this for the changes to take
effect.

Initial Configuration
=====================

After installing the package, you can access the IRC server at
localhost:6667. But it will have conservative default settings and the
only people allowed to connect will be local users. So before further
using the server, PLEASE edit ircd.conf in /etc/ircd-hybrid. You will
have a server called hybrid8.debian.local and only bound to localhost
until you do. Then, you may restart it using:

	/etc/init.d/ircd-hybrid restart

And the server should come back up with your new setup. If not,

	tail /var/log/ircd/ircd-hybrid.log

and see what went wrong. Remember that all configuration statements must 
end with semicolons, even at the ends of blocks (};) - this is the 
leading cause of 'syntax errors' :)
