Setting up and IRC server
How easy is it to set up a IRC server? I have a domain, and linux server ready to serve one.
hosting, everything.. so say my domain name is 733t-irc.com, how would i setup my linux server to allow a bunch of users to login per say irc.733t-irc.com, create a server banner of my own in ANSi .. where should i start? I have ACiD ansi draw program which is pretty awesome, and a new wifi rack server that can control up to 500 access points. I would like to use my i386 PC to run the server, it seems to run quick with demian. Any links or tutorials would be awesome.
I am going to do something awesome with this tech, but have not fully decided yet on what i want to do yet.

Well, installing and configuring an IRC server is very easy. Let's say that you have Debian on the box, you could use Hybrid as your chosen IRC server, so to install it you would type: apt-get install ircd-hybrid, in the terminal. I wont discuss how to configure it, because 90% of the time the conf files have very detailed descriptions and the manual page as well (man ircd-hybrid).
So, now you have an IRC server on port 6667 for example, now all you have to do is point your subdomain, irc.744t-irc.com to the IP and the port, usually you just have to set it to the IP since the client usually has to specify a port anyway, like 84.63.63.53:6667.
And yeah, like Big-E said, watch your ass when running an IRC server. Even suck-o has had some botnet attempts.

Download an IRC client like mIRC (I personally use HydraIRC), and type in:
Code: Select all
/server 62.75.148.170
