359.SH CONFIGURATION
360If you are using
361.B disobedience
362on the same host as the server then no additional configuration should be
363required.
364.PP
afc2fe2e 365If it is running on a different host then the easiest way to set it up is to
c0c23a60
RK
366use the login details window in Disobedience.
367Enter the connection details, use Login to connect to the server, and then
368use Save to store them for future sessions.
f4b9ba55 369.PP
afc2fe2e
RK
370The other clients read their configuration from the same location so after
371setting up with Disobedience, tools such as
372.BR disorder (1)
373should work as well.
b6579a61 374.SH BUGS
