Under no circumstances should you run ircd from inetd. You should start it from a script called in /etc/rc.local. Make sure that the script does an su to a normal user, and that that user has adequate resources to run ircd. > 2.)

If you want the same channels to show up all the time when clients do a /list, run a bot of some sort in that channel. You might also want to put the info you want the users to see in ircd.motd. > 3.)
