znc README.SBo Once the package is installed, you should create your config file using znc's own interactive utility; run the following command: su - _ZNC_USER_ -c '/usr/bin/znc --makeconf --datadir /etc/znc' Since znc is configured to run as a nonprivileged user by default in this build script, you must choose a listening port higher than 1024. Once you have answered all the questions, your znc.conf file will be located at /etc/znc/configs/znc.conf It should be noted that by default (if run without any arguments), ZNC will look for its configuation file in ~/.znc (which is /etc/znc/.znc as suggested by the build script). This is irrelevant if you are using the init script supplied with the package, but it might be worth knowing just in case.
