Well, Hybrid and Bahamut are probably the best two out there. Undernet's IRCd (does it even have a cool name like the rest?) is pretty popular too. There are all sorts of variations out there based on these main three. For example, Bahamut is actually a blending of dreamforge and hybrid but isn't much like either one. I'd recommend DALnet's daemon (Bahamut - http://bahamut.dal.net/) because the support is out there and it's well documented anyway. The latest official release (mandatory upgrade for DALnet's servers) is 1.4.34 and was released about a week ago (ftp.dal.net). On the Bahamut site they tell you all sorts of things and how to install. They even used to have several tutorials on how to secure FreeBSD for IRCd and how to modify FreeBSD to get the most out of the daemon. I can't find all of them but I have found this one http://www.dal.net/admin/vote/seceval.php3 which is relatively new. If you search around you might find some different ones prepared by other DALnet admins/coders. On another note, as you probably know, running an IRC server opens a large can of worms. Unless it's completely private it will get attacked regularly. A lot of people don't plan for this. > Thanks! > Jan -Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
