+Bitlbee now includes a standard rc.bitlbee. To have this start on bootup,
add the following code to /etc/rc.d/rc.local for example
-if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.bitlbee ]; then

If you choose to use inetd , you need to modify your /etc/inetd.conf
so bitlbee will be started when /etc/rc.d/rc.inetd is called on bootup.
Add the line below to your /etc/inetd.conf file:
- 6667 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd
- /usr/sbin/bitlbee

Restart inetd (/etc/rc.d/rc.inetd restart). All that is left to do now
is connect your irc client to the localhost.

NOTE: The default "bot"/bitlbee daemon is called 'root'. This is not
the root user on your system. You can easily change it. Register and

rename root BitlBot (or whatever you want)
NOTE: Since bitlbee now runs as a daemon instead of from inetd, bitlbee
runs under its own user (UID/GID: 250). If you have older databases
of bitlbee, you may want to change the permissions on the files in
/var/lib/bitlbee.
