Parts of this tutorial I found in [[CWE:Getting Started]], so the section on setting up the CWE probably can be shortened, and the part about adding the Dirtsand user.

:::OK, I see your point. So here are my plans: 1. Specify '''clearly''' on [[DIRTSAND:Getting Started]] that the full File Server step is optional. 2. 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. Specify that the server.ini encryption keys are optional. 5. Make "Setting Up a Shard" point to those two articles whilst specifying that some steps are optional beforehand. I think this should cover everything. What do you think? --[[User:Lyrositor|Lyrositor]] 17:22, 16 May 2012 (EDT)

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)
