     46If you don't want to run any inetd daemon, you can run BitlBee in Daemon
     47mode. Right now, daemon mode may be a bad idea on servers with multiple
     48users, since possible fatal BitlBee bugs will crash the BitlBee process and
     49disconnect all connected users at once. Instead, you can use ForkDaemon
     50mode, which serves every user from a separate process, without depending on
     51an inetd daemon.

     53To use BitlBee in daemon mode, just start it with the right flags or enable
     54it in bitlbee.conf. You probably want to write an init script to start
     55BitlBee automatically after a reboot. (This is where you realise using
     56a package from your distro would've been a better idea. :-P)
