I’ve added one last step for this.

Excellent guide, thanks!!

i) You need to add the following to the LSB section on the init script in order to run update-rc.d

# Required-Start:$all # Required-Stop: $all

Yes, indeed this is needed since squeeze needs LSB-Headers in the init-scripts. More information can be found here: http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot

But I think you don’t need to add $all, since this could cause znc not to start when ANY service doesn’t start. I think you’ll only need the networking services.

I’ve noticed a couple of things after installing on Squeeze.

i) You need to add the following to the LSB section on the init script in order to run update-rc.d

# Required-Start: $all
# Required-Stop: $all

ii) I had to modify /etc/znc/configs/znc.conf with the new location of my znc.pem, as it was referencing the pem that was previously in my home directory.

Otherwise, the post is great!

Works great thanks! One issue I do have is that the log module doesn’t seem to work

In order for .oidentd.conf to work in /etc/znc it must be set as your home dir: usermod -d /etc/znc znc

I figured out how to fix the oidentd problem. All you need to do, is make sure that grep znc /etc/passwd has its $home set to /etc/znc.

Thanks for a great tutorial

Thanks for clearing that up. How ever, it just wont work for me, it insists on using znc for ident. My current oidentd.conf in /etc/znc looks like this;

default {
default {
allow spoof
allow spoof_all
allow spoof_privport
allow random_numeric
allow numeric
allow hide
}

}

user “znc” {

default {

}

Appricaite your time to help.

Just to clarify here. /etc/znc or /etc/znc/configs

You can also put it to “/this/is/a/totally/awesome/path/for/my/.oident.conf”. Put it whereever you want to as long as you point your znc.conf to the correct path.
