Personally, ircd is one thing I'd avoid installing from ports/packages anyway. There are so many configuration options and possible tweaks that you'll want to build it yourself - everyone likes different settings so the package maintainer's options are unlikely to suit you. If they don't, you'll end up building it yourself anyway so you might as well do it from the beginning. 2.10.3 *will* build and run on practically any FreeBSD setup without problems. Core dumps often indicate a configuration problem rather an actual software bug. hth -ac -- ========================================================== Alex Charalabidis * Systems Administrator * WebNet Memphis 5050 Poplar Ave Ste 170 * Memphis, TN 38157 * 901-432-6000 Author, The Book of IRC * http://www.bookofirc.com/ ========================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
