[-- Attachment #1 --]
Ive been racking my brains, and i cannot for the life of me figure out what
is the problem.
My system configuration is:
1Ghz AMD
256M RAM
Asus A7V Mother board
40Gig Maxtor HD
NE2K Compatable NIC
60 Routable IP's (1 main, 59 aliased)
This box is used for shell hosting, and was recently upgraded from Slackware
7.0 to FreeBSD-4.4STABLE. (new install)
Here is the problem that has existed since the new install of FreeBSD.
IRCd's will work properly, users can connect from the outside, with no
problem. But, any other IRC process, (BNC, BitchX, Eggdrop, or any IRC
Services [services, stats]) cannot connect locally to an IRCd hosted on this
same box. They can connect remotely to any other IRCd, that is hosted on a
different server.
You can see services try to connect, but they get either timeout errors, or
a connection refused error.
I am limiting hosts through the hosts.allow, but i disabled that and left
ALL : ALL : allow, and still the same problem.
As a side note, SSH and FTP can connect locally without a problem.
There is no firewall setup on this box, IPv6 is enabled, and the line in
hosts.allow for reverse mapping is commented out.
Also, if you setup an IRCd on the main unaliased IP, the processes will work
fine. On the rest of the IP’s (aliased) they have the problem as listed
above.
Any ideas at all would be greatly appreciated, and are very much needed.
Thanks so much,
