It communicates with the end user via the IRC protocol whilst interacting +with popular chat networks such as AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, and Jabber. The user's +buddies appear as normal IRC users in a channel, and conversations use the +private message facility of IRC. + +After the installation, you need to modify your /etc/inetd.conf so bitlbee wil +be started when /etc/rc.d/rc.inetd is called on bootup. Add the line below to +your /etc/inetd.conf file: + 6667 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/bitlbee + +Restart inetd (/etc/rc.d/rc.inetd restart). All that is left to do now is +connect your irc client to the localhost. + +NOTE: The default "bot"/bitlbee daemon is called 'root'. This is not the root +user on your system. You can easily change it. Register and identify yourself +first, and then: + + rename root BitlBot + (or whatever you want) |
