It should be stressed in whatever documentation that it is imperative to use the most recent version of this package, also that it doesn't seem to handle ip addersses in place of server names. Not too well anyways.

I've had a hard time getting this to work on my local test IRC server, ircd-ratbox , but eventually grabbing the latest files from the CVS and aliasing the ip in /etc/hosts made it work. I hope it will be downhill from there. A straithforward howto section would've saved me a couple of hours...

a basic idea of what made it work would be...

> do: apt-get install ircd-ratbox
> play around with the /etc/ircd-ratbox/ircd.conf, restrict it to the local ip (192.168.0.1) here, set hostname to something like local.test.net
> add a line in /etc/hosts like: 192.168.0.1 local.test.net
> get rid of other versions, grab the smartirc files from cvs here
> change addresses in examples to local.test.net and see if they work, prefferably by doing: apt-get install epic4   ...and logging on the local server ( epic4 local.test.net ).

Well, that's about it, next I'll have to actually make this useful...
