Topic: IRCD rpm

[Doug M.]

You need to edit the file "/etc/init.d/ircd"

Change line 35 from:

    daemon /usr/sbin/ircd

to

    daemon /usr/sbin/ircd -s

When  this  option  is specified, iauth will not be started.  This  means  that  the  IRC  daemon  will perform  "ident  lookups"  (RFC 1413) internally to attempt to authenticate incoming  connections.   No other authentication mechanism will be used.

To use ircd you need to run it from this script;

/etc/init.d/ircd {start|stop|status|restart|condrestart|reload}


Hope this helps. I've never ran an irc daemon before. Might play with it myself for awhile

I tried, but the ircd still dont work

it loads but it don't look like its running. the mirc just say there is no server something like that.

[Bob Todd]

dare I suggest that you need to check the tcp ports that the irc daemon is running on are open to your network / internet.

[Mac Ma]

How can I do that. I am sure that the port are 6667, from the ircd.conf

[Nathan Fowler]

You could run:

netstat -apvt

This would display the listening daemons and the TCP ports they are listening on, additionally, it would also provide the process and PID.

Ok same thing is happening to me. I am using hybrid ircd. I installed it from RPM in 5.5 and it worked fine. Now i installed the same version of Hybrid by RPM in 6.0 and it does the same thing described above.
I see the process running. Netstat shows it listening.
Did anyone get this working? Any ideas?
