For those who are using sh/ksh/bash/zsh the check out is done as follows:
<br /> <br />
-<tt class="blue">
+<tt class="highlight">
export CVSROOT=:pserver:<?php printf("%s@%s:%s", $CVS_User, $CVS_Site, $CVS_Root); ?>
<br /> <br />

<br /> <br />
For those who are using csh/tcsh the check out is done as follows:
<br /> <br />
-<tt class="blue">
+<tt class="highlight">
setenv CVSROOT :pserver:<?php printf("%s@%s:%s", $CVS_User, $CVS_Site, $CVS_Root); ?>
<br /> <br />
cvs login<br />
If you don't want to set $CVSROOT environment variable you can set the
path to the cvs as command line option:
<br /> <br />
-<tt class="blue">
+<tt class="highlight">
cvs -d:pserver:<?php printf("%s@%s:%s", $CVS_User, $CVS_Site, $CVS_Root); ?> login

<br /> <br />
Includes all the SILC documentation. Few parts of the documentation<br />
After checkout from CVS the SILC source tree needs to be prepared for
configuration and compilation. To compile the source tree, type:
<br /> <br />
-<tt class="blue">
+<tt class="highlight">
./prepare<br />
./configure --enable-debug<br />
make<br /> <br />
and server is very huge, thus it is common to test the programs as
follows:
<br /> <br />
-<tt class="blue">
-./silc -d -f configfile 2>log<br />
-./silcd -d -f configfile 2>log
+<tt class="highlight">
+./silc -d "*" -f configfile 2>log<br />
+./silcd -d "*" -f configfile 2>log
</tt>
+<br /> <br />
+The -d option enables the debug printing. The argument for the -d option
+is a string that is used to match the output debug. The example "*" will
+match for everything, and all debugs will be printed. If you want to
+limit the debugs you want to printout you can give for example a string
+like "*server*,*rng*" to match all functions, and filenames that has
+"server" or "rng" string in them. Others will not be printed out. You
+can freely define regural expressions as debug string.

<b>How to clean SILC Source Tree</b>

from CVS, type:

A: SILC (Secure Internet Live Conferencing) is a protocol which provides
secure conferencing services in the Internet over insecure channel. SILC
is IRC like although internally they are very different. Biggest

A: The SILC development started in 1996 and early 1997. But, for various
reasons it suspended many times until it finally got some wind under its
wings in 1999. First public release was in summer 2000.

when it was started. When SILC was first developed there really did not

become a replacement for IRC. SILC was something that didn't exist in 1996
or even today except that SILC is now released. However, I did check out

+<samp class="highlight">Q: Can I talk from SILC network to IRC network?</samp><br />
A: Simple answer for this is No. The protocols are not compatible which
makes it impossible to directly talk from SILC network to IRC network or
vice versa. Developing a gateway between these two networks would

-<samp class="blue">Q: Does SILC support file transfer?</samp><br />
+<samp class="highlight">Q: Does SILC support file transfer?</samp><br />
A: Yes. The SILC protocol support SFTP as mandatory file transfer
protocol. It provides simple client to client file transfer, but also
a possibility for file and directory manipulation. Even though the SFTP
protocol.
<br /> <br />
+<a name="f2_46"></a>
+<samp class="highlight">Q: Does SILC support DCC or alike?</samp><br />
+A: SILC does not support the DCC commonly used in IRC. It does not need
+it since it has builtin support for same features that DCC have. You can
+transfer files securely and encrypted directly with another client. You
+can also negotiate secret key material with another client directly to
+use it in private message encryption. The private messages are not,
+however sent directly between clients. The protocol, on the hand
+does not prohibit sending messages directly between clients if the
+implementation would support it. The current SILC Client implementation
+does not support it. This means that private messages travel through the
+SILC Network. SILC protocol also has a capability to support DCC
+and CTCP like protocols with SILC. None of them, however have not been
+defined to be used with SILC at the present time.

-<samp class="blue">Q: I am behind a firewall, can I use SILC?</samp><br />

A: Yes. If your network administrator can open the port 706 (TCP) you can
use SILC without problems. You may also compile your SILC client with
SOCKS support which will proxy your SILC session through the firewall.

-<samp class="blue">Q: How secure SILC really is?</samp><br />
+<samp class="highlight">Q: How secure SILC really is?</samp><br />
A: A good question which I don't have an answer for. We have tried to make
SILC as secure as possible. However, there is no security protocol or
security software that has not been vulnerable to some sort of attacks.

A: SILC is not an instant message (IM) system, like ICQ and the others.
SILC is more IRC like system, "real-time", connection-oriented chat and
that kind of stuff. But I guess IRC is too called an Instant Messaging

-<samp class="blue">Q: I have suggestions to SILC Protocol,
+<samp class="highlight">Q: Is anyone outside a channel able to see the channel
+messages?</samp><br />
+A: A short answer is simply No. A longer answer involves assumptions
+about security conditions. Initially channel keys are generated by the
+server, so if the server would get compromised it would be possible for
+an adversary to see the messages. However, users on the channel can
+prevent this even if the server would be compromised. It is possible to
+set so called channel private key that only the users on the channel
+know about. The servers does not know about the key, and therefore cannot
+see the messages even if they would be compromised. So, longer answer
+results into same as the short one; No.

<br /> <br />
+<a name="f4_60"></a>
+<samp class="highlight">Q: Why SILC server runs on privileged port 706?</samp>
+<br />
+A: Ports 706/tcp and 706/udp have been assigned for the SILC protocol by
+IANA. Server on the network listening above privileged ports (>1023)
+SHOULD NOT be trusted as it could have been set up by untrusted party.
+The server normally drops root privileges after startup and then run as
