To run znc as a user, run 'znc --makeconf' to create a configuration file. To configure the system-wide daemon, you may run 'emerge --config znc'. If migrating from a user-based install, you can copy the existing configuration files: # mkdir /var/lib/znc # mv /home/$USER/.znc/* /var/lib/znc # rm -rf /home/$USER/.znc # chown -R znc:znc /var/lib/znc OpenRC users may also adjust the location of the files and the user running znc in /etc/conf.d/znc instead. Systemd users may have to overwrite the existing unit file.
