[qorey@hellfire /home/qorey/release/src]$ make

You will see a bunch of compiling messages, you may get a couple warnings, if so, ignore them. If you decide that you do not want to proceed without further explanation of these warnings, contact me at clkratz1@bemidjistate.edu and I will explain why you get these messages.

*** Note to OpenBSD/FreeBSD users, if you have any trouble and can't get past the compiliation, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I have not tested this on ANY OpenBSD system, but I have tested this on a FreeBSD system. CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER INFORMATION and let me know what is happening.

The last two commands that you should see in order to get a successful executable should be:

       mv m2 ..
       rm .version

Change to the preceding subdirectory (..) and move on to the next step System Configuration

       [qorey@hellfire /home/qorey/release/src]$ cd ..

Installation Tips: System Configuration

Run the executable m2 that was created from the previous compile

       [qorey@hellfire /home/qorey/release]$ ./m2

You will now be asked a series of configuration questions about the chat server you wish to setup. The italic words are examples that I used; you should use ones that are personalized to your needs.

** Warning, because of the functions I use in this area (gets()), it is HIGHLY recommended that you do not put very long strings in here. It will cause undesired results. 

You will want to put in the name of your system here.

       System Name: Ysti Domain

When you link to other Millenium2 servers, this will be displayed whenever a system message occurs (logins/logouts, etc)

       Link (Shortened, usually abbreviation) Name: |13Y|05sti |13D|05.

When you link to other Millenium2 servers, this will be put inside the ConnectionHub's handle.

       Link Chathandle name (usually a shorthand of the system name): |13Y|05. |13D|05.

When linked to a system, this will be displayed in the hub's DOING (along with port number.) This does NOT have to be correct, and can be anything you like if you don't want to advertise your server on theirs.

       Linking Hostname (Must exist, does not have to be correct): millenium2.no-ip.com

This will be the port your chat server will listen on. (Usually 4000) It is suggested to use a port number that is greater than 1024 (Unless ran as root - NOT SUGGESTED)

       System Port: 4000

Now you're ready to move on to the next part, User Configuration.

Installation Tips: User Configuration

This will be the chat server administrator's login name. (This is CASE SENSITIVE)

       SysOp Login Name: qorey

This will be your chat handle

       Sysop Chat Handle: Qorey

This will be your password. Please be smart about this, and not use z2qsicp3 as your password. The password will be echoed to the screen.

       Your Password: z2qsicp3

You will now see a few messages on your screen.

       defaulting your security level to Admin
       defaulting your points to 0
       defaulting your flags to blank.
       Finished creating datafiles, preparing to start server...

You should now be returned to your shell. If you didn't see error messages, you have successfully started the chat server, you may now telnet to it and begin customizing the default settings.
