Right now, daemon mode may be a bad idea on servers with multiple +users, since possible fatal BitlBee bugs will crash the BitlBee process and +disconnect all connected users at once. Instead, you can use ForkDaemon +mode, which serves every user from a separate process, without depending on +an inetd daemon. + +To use BitlBee in daemon mode, just start it with the right flags or enable +it in bitlbee.conf.
