+ircd-hybrid (A lightweight, high-performance IRC daemon)
+
+ircd is the server (daemon) program for the Internet Relay Chat Program. The
+ircd is a server in that its function is to "serve" the client program irc
+and other compatible programs with messages and commands. All commands and
+user messages are passed directly to the ircd for processing and relaying to
+other IRC servers.
+
+This is ircd-hybrid, the highly modified (and hopefully improved) variant of
+the original ircd program by Jarkko Oikarinen.
+
+Groupname and Username
+
+You must have the "ircd" group and user to run this script, for example:
+
+ groupadd -g 360 ircd
+ useradd -u 360 -s /bin/false -d /var/empty -g ircd ircd
