303.SH CONFIGURATION
304If you are using
305.B disobedience
306on the same host as the server then no additional configuration should be
307required.
308.PP
309If it is running on a different host then the easiest way to set it up is to
310use the login details window in Disobedience. Enter the connection details,
311use Login to connect to the server, and then use Save to store them for future
312sessions.
313.PP
314The other clients read their configuration from the same location so after
315setting up with Disobedience, tools such as
316.BR disorder (1)
317should work as well.
318.SH FILES
