ZNC will remain connected to an IPv4 or IPv6 IRC server even while you
are offline. You can reattach your client at a later time and catch up
with what happened while you were gone via the history buffer. You can
-add additional users under one running process: useful for public shells
+add additional users under one running process, useful for public shells
that limit background processes. ZNC also supports the dynamic loading
of C++ and Perl modules.
-Once the package is installed, you can interactivly create your znc.conf
-using the following command:
- /usr/bin/znc --makeconf --datadir /etc/znc
-Once you have answered all the questions, your znc.conf file will be located
-at /etc/znc/configs/znc.conf.
+The SlackBuild file for ZNC includes support for OpenSSL connections
+to IRC servers. If you do not wish to include OpenSSL support in ZNC,
+simply run the build script like this:
+ WITH_SSL=no ./znc.SlackBuild
-It is recommended that you do *NOT* run znc as 'root' but rather as a
-more benign user such as 'nobody'. It should be noted that you can
-only run as a non-root user if you choose a listening port higher than
-1024. The following is necessary to allow znc to be run as the 'nobody'
-user; it only needs to be run once:
- chown -R nobody:nobody /etc/znc
-To actually execute ZNC as the 'nobody' user, use the following command:
- su - nobody -c '/usr/bin/znc --datadir /etc/znc'
-By default, ZNC will look for its configuration file in ~/.znc. If you
-used the '--datadir' option when creating the znc.conf file, it must also
-be used when starting ZNC.
+IPv6 support is also enabled by default; to disable it, run the script as:
+ WITH_IPV6=no ./znc.SlackBuild
+
+This is intended to be run as a nonprivileged user - by default, the
+build script uses "znc" as the user. If you wish to change it, e.g.
+to use the "nobody" user, then run the script as follows:
+ ZNC_USER=nobody ./znc.SlackBuild
+
+See README.SBo for configuration information.
