-====== Setting up the Nefarious IRC Server Software (ircd) ======
+====== Technical Information For Developers ======
-ssh into your server.
+  * [[help:technical:ircd|ircd]]: Installing the EvilNet Nefarious IRC daemon.
-Then run:
+  * [[help:technical:loc|Login-on-Connect Extension]]: Our extension to IRC client protocol to allow pre-authenticated connecting.
-  svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/evilnet/branches/nefarious-1.0/
-The system will begin to download the latest version of the nefarious ircu.
+  * [[help:technical:znc|ZNC Bouncer integrated with X3/Login-On-Connect]]: How we install our shared ZNC bouncer with integrated network login
-Before we continue, we'd like to make sure you have the packages needed for a successful install.
+  * [[help:technical:rfc1459|RFC 1459]]: Where it all started. The technical description of the IRC client-side protocol.
-So be sure you have the packages below installed on your box:
-  openssl
+  * [[help:technical:exwho|Extended /WHO Syntax]]
-  libssl-dev (for enabling ssl -- openssl-devel on redhat)
-  autoconf (to avoid errors when running make)
-  automake
-The named packages above can be fetched (on a Debian based system) with apt-get:
-  sudo apt-get install open-ssl libssl-dev autoconf automake
-Note: The names of the packages above may vary, depending on your distribution.
-With that said, we now move on to getting the server up and running.
-  cd nefarious
-For your own convenience, we recommend using one centralized directory when running the configure script (it's up to you though). And DO NOT forget to enable ssl:
-  ./configure --libdir=/home/user/ircd --mandir=/home/user/ircd --bindir=/home/user/ircd --enable-ssl
-Once that is done, run:
-  make
-Then:
-  make install
-If everything runs smoothly you should now have an ircd directory:
-  cd /home/user/ircd
-Then fetch the ircd.conf to the ircd directory:
-  wget -O ircd.conf http://www.afternet.org/downloads/ircd.conf
-You'll have to edit the configuration file a bit (for simplicity, nano is used in this example):
-  nano ircd.conf
-Change the M:line to look similar to this:
-  M:MyServerName.US.AfterNET.Org:*:Your Server Description Here::YourNumeric
-Where YourNumeric would be changed to a number we give you.
-Next change the A:line:
-  A:YourNickname:yourdomain.com:youremail@yourdomain.com
-You might also want to give yourself an O:line, otherwise you can't oper up. Now save the file.
-You are now ready to start your IRC server, run:
-  ./ircd
-That will start the ircd. Test it by connecting to your server.
-Installing the cronjobs needed
-Cron is the system scheduled jobs manager. We generally run 3 jobs to help maintain the ircd. To edit the cron list, login with the account on which you want the scheduled jobs to run under, and run:
-  crontab -e
-The syntax of the file is as follows:
-<code>
-  # Min Hour  Day   Month   DOW
-  */5   *       *       *          *      /path/to/program.sh
-</code>
-read the unix manual to crontab for more information.
-=== Please install the following cronjobs: ===
-== linesync ==
-linesync updates your server 2x a day with the latest k: lines, features, and server connection lines. It is required. You should receive it from us when your testlink is approved.
-*/12 * * * /home/user/ircd/linesync.sh /home/user/ircd/ircd.conf /home/user/ircd/ircd.pid
-== checkircd.sh ==
-This gem checks if the irc server is running, and if it isnt, starts it up. This will keep the ircd up after reboots, or in the case of a crash. Create the file using a text editor, pasting this code in:
-<code>
-#!/bin/sh
-# don't start the server if it is already running
-procs=`ps x`
-if echo "$procs" | grep ./ircd > /dev/null; then
-   exit
-fi
-cd /home/irc/ircd
-./ircd
-</code>
-(be careful to use the right kind of `` ticks!)
-  chmod a+x checkircd.sh to make it executable
-<code>
-*/5 * * * * /home/user/checkircd.sh
-</code>
-== syncheck ==
-syncheck is our anti-ddos attack tool, you should have received from us on successful testlink. It requires iptables, and thus root access: Put it in /root (or wherever you want) and as root run:
-  crontab -e
-And install the following cronjob:
-<code>
-*/5 * * * * sh /root/syncheck
-</code>
-With these cronjobs installed, you are now ready to link your server to the network.
