following questions.
Quote
Do you want to enable the server anti-spoof protection?
[No] ->
To enable anti-spoof protection option type yes and enter or leave if you want to keep it disabled then just leave it blank and press enter. According to my suggestion keep it blank.
Quote
What directory are all the server configuration files in?
[/home/username/Unreal3.2] ->
We didn’t change the directory so keep it blank and press enter.
Quote
What is the path to the ircd binary including the name of the binary?
[/home/username/Unreal3.2/src/ircd] ->
Again keep it blank and press enter as we didn’t changed this path.

Would you like to compile as a hub or as a leaf?
Type Hub to select hub and Leaf to select leaf.
[Hub] ->
If you are not going to link your ircd with any other irc server then just keep it blank and press enter.
If you want to link your ircd to other irc servers then type leaf and press enter.
Quote
What is the hostname of the server running your IRCd?
[ircd.webshost.net] ->
You don’t need to change anything here so just press enter for the next question.
Quote
What should the default permissions for your configuration files be? (Set this to 0 to disable)
It is strongly recommended that you use 0600 to prevent unwanted reading of the file
[0600] ->
Answer has been already given automatically by configuration script so just press enter and go for next question.
Quote
Do you want to support SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) connections?
[No] ->
Many servers does not use this option so my recommendation for you is to leave it blank and go ahead for next question. But if you want to enable this option just type yes and go ahead.
Note: if you are pressing yes you should know what you are doing.
Assuming that you have kept that blank, we are moving to our next question
Quote
Do you want to enable IPv6 support?
[No] ->
If you want to enable this option type yes and go ahead. We are keeping it here disabled.
Quote
Do you want to enable ziplinks support?
[No] ->
You really don’t need feature either, so keep it blank.
Quote
Do you want to enable remote includes?
[No] ->
No, its not recommended.
Do you want to enable prefixes for chanadmin and chanowner?
This will give +a the & prefix and ~ for +q (just like +o is @)
Supported by the major clients (mIRC, xchat, epic, eggdrop, Klient,
PJIRC, irssi, CGI:IRC, etc.)
Quote
This feature should be enabled/disabled network-wide.
[Yes] ->
Its a cool feature. You might like it to keep it enable. If you have registered the channel, you will be ~yournick instead of @yournick in the channel, and anyone who you have added to the SOP list, or who is +a in the channel, will be &theirnick instead of @theirnick. Type no if you dont want it.
Quote
What listen() backlog value do you wish to use? Some older servers
have problems with more than 5, others work fine with many more.

Again keep it blank as we do not need to change this value.

How many file descriptors (or sockets) can the IRCd use?
[1024] ->
Now this answer depends upon how many users are allowed on your ircd.
Suppose if you have purchased 300 user ircd package then type 300, if you have 1000 user ircd then type 1000.

It should finish. After that upload you unrealircd.conf file to make your oper and stuff.
Then type: ./unreal start
