23 <   You should run ./configure with the option '--enable-efnet' to tweak
24 <   some options to be EFNet based.  You must also use the example.efnet.conf

68  
69 <          Incidentally, the order of listing above is the order of auto-
70 <          detection in configure.  So if you do have kqueue but wish to
71 <          enable select(2) instead (bad idea), you must use --enable-select.

72  
73            * --enable-openssl - Enable the openssl dependent crypto functions.
74              This will allow CHALLENGE to work and encrypted links. On systems

80 +
81         These are optional or have default values that may be overridden:
82    
83 <          * --disable-shared-modules - Disable module support.  This option is
90 <            more secure, but reduces a lot of the flexibility in hybrid-7.
91 <            This may need to be used on some systems without a working
92 <            dlopen/dlsym.

85 >            so as to prevent cores from things that shouldn't normally happen.
86  
87 <          * --enable-efence - Enable ElectricFence which is a memory debugger.
88 <
89 <          * --enable-profile - Enable profiling support in ircd-hybrid.
90 <
102 <          * --disable-block-alloc - Disable block allocations (only works with
103 <            ElectricFence).
104 <
105 <          * --enable-halfops - Enable halfops (%, mode +h) usage. Halfops
106 <            are similar to plain ops, but can't kick/deop plain ops. Halfops
107 <            may or may not kick/deop other halfops depending on if (+p) is

91  
92            * --enable-small-net - Tunes the server for smaller networks by
93              reducing the startup memory footprint. This should really only be
94              used for *small* networks, as this tends to be a performance hit
95              on larger networks.
96  
115          * --enable-syslog=kill/squit/connect/users/oper, separated by
116            spaces, in quotes - Enables syslog logging, with events you specify
117            (none is okay too, and logs the most essential messages only.)
118
119          * --enable-syslog-facility=FACILITY - Check with your sysadmin to see
120            what this should be; by default it is LOG_LOCAL4. If you get it wrong
121            initially, no problem; just edit the value in include/setup.h.
122
97            * --with-nicklen,
98 <            --with-topiclen - Respectively, sets the maximum NICK length and
99 <            maximum TOPIC length. Note that this must be consistent across your
100 <            entire network. Defaults are 9 and 120, respectively.
101 <
102 <          * --disable-zlib - Build the ircd without ziplinks support.
129 <
130 <          * --disable-gline-voting - This is good for small networks or where
131 <            G-Line voting is not necessary. Please understand that by disabling
132 <            this, it will allow any operator with G-Line permissions to G-Line
133 <            someone without requiring the approval of 2 other operators. However,
134 <            it is useful if you use proxy scanners or services that do G-Lines.

104     3.  Run 'make'; this should build the ircd.
105  
106 <   4.  Run 'make install'; this will install the server, modules(1), and tools

108  
141           (1) Unless the server was compiled without module support.
142
109     5.  If you wish to install the contrib modules, run 'make install' in the
110         contrib/ folder to compile and install the modules and help pages.
111  
112 <   6.  If you wish to enable the user log, oper log, and failed oper log,
113 <       kill log, kline log and the gline log issue these commands at the
148 <       shell prompt (in the prefix directory).
149 <
150 <       $ touch logs/userlog
151 <       $ touch logs/operlog
152 <       $ touch logs/foperlog

154 <       $ touch logs/kline
155 <       $ touch logs/gline
156 <
157 <       Note: If you use different names in ircd.conf, you must 'touch'
158 <             their specific names.
159 <
160 <   7.  If you are upgrading from Hybrid 5 or Hybrid 6, the config files
161 <       have changed drastically...

115         By default, the kline file is named kline.conf, the dline file is
116 <       named dline.conf, the xline file is called xline.conf, and the gline
165 <       file is called gline.conf.
116 >       named dline.conf, and the xline file is called xline.conf.

118         The nick resv file is named nresv.conf, channel resv file is named
119         cresv.conf.
120  
170       The oper motd file is named opers.motd.

# Line 181 | Line 130
130       on you, PLEASE contact bugs@ircd-hybrid.org ASAP with a backtrace of
131       the core. The Hybrid team can't fix bugs if no one tells us about them!
132  
184   - http://forum.ircd-hybrid.org/
185     We decided to create a phpBB-like forum about ircd-hybrid, where you
186     can get help from coders and admins, post your suggestions, modules etc.
187
133     - https://lists.ircd-hybrid.org/mailman/listinfo/hybrid
134       Here you can subscribe to a mailing list for general discussion of Hybrid.
