psybnc Install

Download the source code of psybnc in your home directory.

wget http://www.psybnc.at/download/beta/psyBNC-2.3.2-7.tar.gz

Extract the file with 'tar -xvzf psyBNC-2.3.2-7.tar.gz' and then type 'cd psybnc'.
Now create the config file with 'make menuconfig', after this step compile the source code with 'make'

../menuconfig

Before going through these options, do the following: know the IP of your shell. for example, if you connect to 'your.shell.com', go into mirc and type '/dns your.shell.com' to get the numeric IP. Also, choose a port for the bnc. We recommend some random number that no one will guess. Ok, on to the options:

Listening ports - You have to tell the bnc where to listen. You can have it listen on more than one port on the same IP, on multiple IPs with the same port, etc. For most people, listening on just one port on one IP is adequate. (the psybnc default is 31337)

Links - Don't worry about this now.

Bouncer Name - Name your bnc. Something like 'mybnc' will work just fine.

Host Allows - Want to restrict access to certain IPs or certian IP masks? This is the place to put those permissions. psy will disallow access to anyone not listed here. To allow anyone (provided they have the correct username and password) set this to '*'.

Users - At this point, you want to just add yourself. In menuconfig, just select this, select 'New' then follow the directions. putserv "PRIVMSG $nick :$bold$red Remember that to connect to psybnc, your ident in mirc must to connect putserv "PRIVMSG $nick :$bold$red connect to psybnc, your ident in mirc must be set to your psybnc username. For all those manual people, jump down to the Appendix, which is where you should be anyway.

DCC Host - The IP to use for all your DCC sessions (if you defined DCC support). We recommend setting it to the same IP that your bnc is listening on for simplicity.

Congrats, your setup is complete. If you haven't done so already, it's time to compile your bnc by typing 'make' at the shell prompt in your psybnc directory. Then type './psybnc' to start the bouncer.
