Configuration rant, by Stskeeps
--------------------------------

Right.. so you think you are done now, you can boot your IRCd and be happy,
and it just works. No, you still got a lot to do. You need to read all of
the documentation through. Would you even have made it this far without
makeconf?. 

Well, today, people think they can be 3 months on IRC, and be ready to run
an IRC daemon. I hate to say this, but I don't think so. 

If you cannot read an IRC help file, or understand what stuff like "desynch",
"masskill", "k-line", or what "mode # +l 5" means - or you got no experince
in the UNIX field at all, like, you MUST know how to invoke a editor in a
shell, or to unzip a file. If you don't know/can do these things, I suggest
you stop trying to set this up, and go read on some UNIX tutorials, and IRC
tutorials. It takes a LOT of work to run a IRC server good. 

I mean. I sit on the #unreal-support support channel each day, and I see
countless questions about stuff that IS IN the documentation. Numerous
people don't even bother to look at the config files (CONFIG_FILE_STOP
problem). 

You need to look at the documentation now. You need to see how to "include"
other configuration files. You need to know how to work out how to use
doc/example.settings.  I can only tell you, if you ask for support, and it
is for errors that you could solve by reading the first lines of a document,
then you'll be firmly ignored. I'm sorry, we cannot help your laziness.

Anyhow, good luck with setting this up. Hope you understand what I am saying
here. You will learn a lot more reading, than just ignoring what we are
saying.
