The reason it bombs is because FreeBSD's crypt(), while nice, is not completely compatible as a plugin for good ol' DES crypt(). I have ircd up and running successfully, and am in fact starting a FreeBSD-based IRC network, just for kicks. Feel free to drop by ftp.NETural.com:/pub/FreeBSD/ircd, and pick up my ircd binaries, descrypt libs, et al. Basically the solution is to compiled ircd/mkpasswd with -ldescrypt. I also hacked the ircd sources to make some values a bit more sane... | Adam W.
