It was compiled with /usr/local/var all over, but a symbolic link in /usr/local fixed that for now. Still nothing when I start it (yes, the configuration file exists. Though you'd think it'd complain if it was missing!) When NOT starting ircd with the -s option, iauth gets started as per /var/log/messages, and then exists "Broken pipe". This is because ircd just dies, it starts iauth allright, but then dies. When calling ircd with the -s option to skip iauth, NOTHING. And I mean 100% void. No log files get touched, stdout/stderr are mute. -o doesn't start local mode either, and removing its config file doesn't even make it complain. I'm at a loss. Has anyone actually used this port? >How-To-Repeat: Install port irc-2.10.3 on a 4.2-RELEASE box. The one I have was obtained from ftp2.freebsd.org. Access to the machine will be provided if necessary. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
