To run from a different port, you'd need to, under ircu 2.10, change the #define PORTNUM 6667, to something else, or edit your ircd.conf file, to add another port, however either way, 194 is a reserved port, and you'd need to run ircd as root, which isn't a good idea any way you put it. > I've gone through all the documentation that I have an everything looks > fine. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Nothing, you _can't_ run ircd from inetd, even if you could, it would be a bad idea. - alex
