NgIRCd

If you're already familiar with NetBSD, this information may not be particulary new or useful to you. It's not particularly Atari-specific. I do however use this for my own reference when I install NetBSD/atari.

ngIRCd is a small, easy to configure IRC daemon. if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/ngircd ]; then /usr/local/sbin/ngircd fi Notes:
 * 1) cd ~
 * 2) ftp ftp://ngircd.barton.de/pub/ngircd/ngircd-[version].tar.gz
 * 3) progress -zf ngircd-[version].tar.gz tar xpf -
 * 4) cd ngircd-[version]
 * 5) ./configure CFLAGS="-Os -m68030 -m68881 -fomit-frame-pointer"
 * 6) make
 * 7) su to root.
 * 8) make install
 * 9) vi /usr/local/etc/ngircd.conf
 * 10) Set options appropriately.
 * 11) Exit and save vi.
 * 12) In /etc/rc.local, add:
 * 1) To start the server, either just reboot or run /usr/local/sbin/ngircd.
 * 2) Exit out of root.


 * See http://ngircd.barton.de/ for more information on ngIRCd.


 * Avoiding use of rc.conf / rc.d because even with the appropriate option enabled, ngIRCd doesn't seem to be properly generating its pid file. I assume the pid file is necessary to shut the server down nicely. But what's it matter anyway, it's just an IRC server, it can just die when the machine reboots.
