Hi,
Congratulations on the Best Unix system I ever saw for Intel Machines.
I'm installing FreeBSD.
It seems very easy, at this point I have FTP,TELNET and Apache working.
I'm using 2.1.0 release.
and I really need the ircd on this machine, I tryied adding the package:
"Message: Unable to fetch package irc-2.8.21 from selected media(ftp.freebsd.org).
No Package add will be done."
So, I downloaded the "ports/net/irc" ...
run "make" :

==>Extracting for irc-2.8.21
==>Patching for irc-2.8.21
==>Applying FreeBSD patches for irc-2.8.21
==>Configuring for irc-2.8.21
==>Building for irc-2.8.21
Building common
...
Building ircd

res.c: In function 'send_res_msg':
res.c:313: warning: passing arg 5 of 'sendto' from incompatible pointer type
...
s_bsd.c: In function 'inetport'
s_bsd.c:259: warning: passing arg 2 of 'bind' from incompatible pointer type

s_bsd.c:2256: warning: passing arg 5 of 'recvfrom' from incompatible pointer type

s_bsd.c:2287: warning: passing arg 5 of 'sendto' from incompatible pointer type


Then I try to run ircd and can't.
If I try as root:
"ERROR: do not run ircd setuid root. Make it setuid a normal user."
If I try as user:
"chdir: Permission denied"

I'm trying to fix those problem for one week, and was unable to do it work!
I tryied adding in inetd.conf :
irc 	stream 	tcp 	wait	root( tryed others too)	/etc/ircd	ircd -i

Nothing seems to work.
Can you help me??
regards,
olavio
