36     1.  Read the NEWS file to find out about the exciting new features in
37         this version. Other good reads are BUGS, etc/example.conf, and
38 <       README.FIRST.
39 <
40 <       An example.conf for EFnet is in etc/ with the values "approved" as of
41 <       October 12th, 2003 called example.efnet.conf.
38 >       README.

40     2.  Run the configure script. It will create config.h and the
41 <       Makefiles to match your system. In hybrid-7, the paths are now handled
41 >       Makefiles to match your system. The paths are now handled
42         with the --prefix option to configure.
43         /usr/local/ircd is the default if no prefix is specified.

96              used for *small* networks, as this tends to be a performance hit
97              on larger networks.
98  
102          * --enable-syslog=kill/squit/connect/users/oper, separated by
103            spaces, in quotes - Enables syslog logging, with events you specify
104            (none is okay too, and logs the most essential messages only.)
105
106          * --enable-syslog-facility=FACILITY - Check with your sysadmin to see
107            what this should be; by default it is LOG_LOCAL4. If you get it wrong
108            initially, no problem; just edit the value in include/setup.h.
109
99            * --with-nicklen,
100              --with-topiclen - Respectively, sets the maximum NICK length and
101              maximum TOPIC length. Note that this must be consistent across your
102              entire network. Defaults are 9 and 120, respectively.
103  
115          * --disable-zlib - Build the ircd without ziplinks support.
104  
117          * --disable-gline-voting - This is good for small networks or where
118            G-Line voting is not necessary. Please understand that by disabling
119            this, it will allow any operator with G-Line permissions to G-Line
120            someone without requiring the approval of 2 other operators. However,
121            it is useful if you use proxy scanners or services that do G-Lines.
105  
106     3.  Run 'make'; this should build the ircd.
107  
108 <   4.  Run 'make install'; this will install the server, modules(1), and tools
108 >   4.  Run 'make install'; this will install the server, modules, and tools
109         in the path with the prefix specified when configure was ran.
110  
128           (1) Unless the server was compiled without module support.
129
111     5.  If you wish to install the contrib modules, run 'make install' in the
112         contrib/ folder to compile and install the modules and help pages.
113  
114 <   6.  If you wish to enable the user log, oper log, and failed oper log,
115 <       kill log, kline log and the gline log issue these commands at the
135 <       shell prompt (in the prefix directory).
136 <
137 <       $ touch logs/userlog
138 <       $ touch logs/operlog
139 <       $ touch logs/foperlog
140 <       $ touch logs/kill
141 <       $ touch logs/kline
142 <       $ touch logs/gline
143 <
144 <       Note: If you use different names in ircd.conf, you must 'touch'
145 <             their specific names.

147 <   7.  If you are upgrading from Hybrid 5 or Hybrid 6, the config files
148 <       have changed drastically...

116  
117         By default, the kline file is named kline.conf, the dline file is
118 <       named dline.conf, the xline file is called xline.conf, and the gline
152 <       file is called gline.conf.
118 >       named dline.conf, and the xline file is called xline.conf.
119  
120         The nick resv file is named nresv.conf, channel resv file is named
121         cresv.conf.
