Linux DCC server support
version 0.3.0
2005-01-17


I got the spec for the mIRC dccserver protocol from here:
        http://www.mircscripts.com/old/ver-0.html
Check "protocol.txt" for details.

REQUIREMENTS
------------
Perl's IPC::Shareable module is needed.


HOW TO
------
Run "dccserver --help" for details.  You may need to add the current directory
to your PATH, or at least make sure dcc-chat and dccserver are somewhere in
your PATH (/usr/local/bin is a good place...)


KNOWN ISSUES
----
There isn't a way to kill a file download other than killing the entire
server.


EXAMPLE
-------
Run it like so:

dccserver --user nobody --port 59 --nick your_nick --path /tmp/dcc_files

For ports < 1024, you must be root when you start dccserver.  The server
will run as --user (nobody in this case) after setting up the port.
