Add a subsection in File Server telling how to get your desired minimal setup (using <code>touch</code> and so on). 3. Specify that keygen isn't required in that section. 4.

server.ini
Is it really necessary to put both of these lines into the server.ini?
Server.Gate.Host "123.45.67.89" Server.Auth.Host "123.45.67.89"
If yes, this is a bug - the client should query the auth server from the gateway. Dirtsand always supported this, and I patched the client months ago to perform this query if there is no auth server specified in server.ini. Cyan's gateway does not support such a query, but that's okay since the server.ini for MOULa contains the auth server IP.

- I can confirm this works for DIRTSAND at least. I'll be removing it from my CWE:Getting Started guide then (well, adding an optional statement). By the way, you don't mind if I delete this article? Its content has been replaced and updated by DIRTSAND:Getting Started, which also replaces Development:DIRTSAND. --Lyrositor 18:39, 15 May 2012 (EDT)
