Linking [leaf] to [hub] help

Ok basically i want to link a leaf to my main irc (the hub).

I know what to add to the unrealircd.conf to link the 2 servers. But what i wish to know is what do i need in the unrealircd.conf for the leaf. (i dont want it to contain oper passwords or any details that could compromise the hub if one of the leafs was hacked.

So whats the most stripped unrealircd.conf i can have for the leaf?

Also say i have anope linked to the hub, Do i have to link it to the leafs aswell or just add ulines?

Thanks in advance! :)

password detection can be averted easy enough for the layman by simply using the encrypted passwords in the the oper blocks as the example in oper block shows.

the only difference in the config files is that in the link block for the leaf server on the hub, do NOT put hub *; as an option as all link blocks are viewed as leafs unless you add the hub directive. You will want to add the hub directive to the hub's link block in the leafs config file though. Passwords here can also be encrypted using the same method as the oper block.

Reference: link block

As far as U:Lines, yes *ALL* servers, even leafs must have ulines for all u:lined servers!! IF you don't you shall call forth bad juju!!

Reference: uline block
