Thanks for opening this one.

To configure your rusnet-1.4 server please do the following steps
after unpacking:

1. configure, make server and make install-server. Look at CHANGED for
   an information. If something goes wrong, look at ERRATA as well.
2. if needed, edit tkconf.h, make tkserv and make install-tkserv.
3. cd to server's directory (/usr/local/rusnet by default).
4. inspect etc/example.* and create etc/ircd.conf and etc/rusnet.conf.
5. using tkserv, create etc/tkserv.access. When building for usage with
   IRC services, OperServ's credentials from config.h must match those
   in config.h and real service. Also, password from tkconf.h must match
   that one from S: line in ircd.conf.
6. if needed, edit "prefix" string in etc/rusnet.conf, it must
   match server's codepages directory.
7. check permissions on these files, ircd must have write permissions over
   kills.conf (if tkserv is in use) and read permissions over all the rest.
   Also ircd must have write permissions to etc/ directory (again, if tkserv
   is in use).
8. don't mess uplink and downlink server classes. Also, tkserv must be
   connected in downlink class (S: line), not uplink, otherwise autoconnect
   to uplink will be broken.

Please remember - there is no longer -d option. Do not start your server 
with -d to point to home directory.

So far so good. If you're reading this line you should be okay.

Adel, erra.
