-====== 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:rfc1459|RFC 1459]] - Where it all started. The technical description of the IRC client side protocol.
- +
-Before we continue, we'd like to make sure you have the packages needed for a successful install. +
-So be sure you have the packages below installed on your box: +
- +
-  openssl +
-  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. +
- +
-0 */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. +
