This is what I have done..... I made a user named irc This user is in the wheel group I put this in the inetd.conf irc stream tcp nowait irc /usr/local/bin/ircd ircd -o I am almost positive that I made sure that /etc/services has irc 6667/tcp #Internet Relay Chat Protocol irc 6667/udp #Internet Relay Chat Protocol I did not have a ircd.conf file where someone told me it should bo so I made one in /usr/local/lib/ircd with only two lines in it. M:wolf.co.net:*:Abbotts 386:6667 A:abbotts 386:Main Client Server:John Abbott <jabbott@wolf.co.net> I don't know if I need more infor here or not. The first time I went to the server with an irc client it told me that I should be running irc as a user not root because I had root in the inetd.conf line. So I changed that to what it looks like above. I added the irc user. Now when I go to it, the client software just beeps. Nothing pops up on the terminal. I can hear the drive access so I know that it is taking the hit. I can't find a log anywhere. Help! Any help appreciated. --ja
