 You will probably want to take a look at the [[modules.conf]] file before running ASSS for the first time to check for dependency issues.

 === Changing Zone Name and Description ===
 The zone name and description are both defined in the /conf/[[global.conf]] file. Edit this file to set your zone's name and description. Set both Billing:ServerName and Directory:Name to your desired zone name, and set Directory:Description to the description you want listed on the [[directory server]]. You'll also want to set the current directory servers in Server1, Server2, etc. At this time the following directory servers work: ''sscentral.sscuservers.net'' and ''sscentral.subspacehq.com''.

 You may also need to log in once using ?passwd <subspace login password> and rejoining the zone before commands work. This is to validate that only someone using your password is allowed to use sysop commands, in case the [[Biller|Billing server]] goes down or you don't use a biller.
