Shown after installing
ircd-ratbox has been successfully installed. Sample 'ircd.conf' and 'ircd.motd' files have been created in the ircd-ratbox configuration directory. A sample configuration file is included for EFNet-like configurations that can be used instead. You should now edit these files as per the ratbox documentation. A configured ircd.conf file is required to start the server. Once you have added ircd_ratbox_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf, the server can be started by running: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ircd-ratbox start You can check your ircd.conf configuration file for syntactical errors using the following rc.d script command: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ircd-ratbox conftest The ban.db database should be checked and updated using 'bantool -u'. For safety, bantool updates must be done while no ircd is running and before starting the new version. /usr/local/bin/bantool -u Notice: ircd-ratbox has been updated to follow the current stable release branch (3.0.x). All previous branches are no longer supported by the ratbox team. Users of ircd-ratbox are advised to create new ircd configuration files based on the examples provided. For more information on upgrading, see: http://svn.ratbox.org/svnroot/ircd-ratbox/trunk/INSTALL Be sure to check out 'ratbox-services' if you need a services package.

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.83eb2c3700Update MASTER_SITES PR: ports/163433 Submitted by: crees Approved by: maintainerfb154f9244

Add ircd-ratbox. This is a port of the ircd-ratbox IRC daemon. ircd-ratbox is the primary ircd used on EFnet; it combines the stability of an ircd required for a large production network together with a rich set of features, making it also suitable for use on smaller networks.
