Yare is now dead. Since it uses *RO client's data.grf, it has its legal
problems. There is, however a promising n00b server around: freya... but
that hasn't even released a cvs, so it's still yare as first choice.

I made my own server, by studying dweiss sources and adapting it to
linux... it's still dirty, btw, but I'm planning to release it soon on
my site...
