Hey there, Thanks for the; PredefChannelsOnly = yes advice. I tried putting it in the global and then the channel section, and it is not doing the job I put it in my /usr/local/etc/ngircd.conf and then stopped and started the ngirdc is there a trick I am missing? Cheers! RichGriese(a)gmail.com

gnutls_handshake: Could not negotiate a supported cipher suite.

Hi, I am tried to setup an SSL protected irc server using ngIRCd and I epicly failed. Here's my ngircd.conf: [Global] SSLPorts = 17667 SSLKeyFile = /etc/ngircd/ngircd-key.pem SSLCertFile = /etc/ngircd/ngircd-cert.pem SSLDHFile = /etc/ngircd/ngircd-params.pem Name = irc.debian.org Info = Yet another IRC Server running on Debian GNU/Linux AdminInfo1 = Debian User AdminInfo2 = Debian City AdminEMail = root@localhost MotdFile = /etc/ngircd/ngircd.motd PidFile = /var/run/ngircd/ngircd.pid PingTimeout = 120 PongTimeout = 20 ConnectRetry = 60 OperCanUseMode = yes MaxConnections = 500 MaxConnectionsIP = 10 MaxJoins = 10 The problem is that SSL initialisation fails. Here's the relevant /var/log/syslog output: Jan 5 21:31:12 chronos ngircd[12609]: ngircd 15-SYSLOG+ZLIB+SSL+IRCPLUS+IPv6-i486/pc/linux-gnu started.

Here's the /etc/ngircd directory listing: gp@chronos:/etc/ssl$ sudo ls -l /etc/ngircd/ total 20 -rwxrwxrwx 1 irc irc 0 2011-01-05 21:21 ngircd-cert.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 irc irc 4839 2011-01-05 21:29 ngircd.conf -rwxrwxrwx 1 irc irc 1238 2011-01-05 21:25 ngircd-dhparams.pem -rwxrwxrwx 1 irc irc 1675 2011-01-05 21:21 ngircd-key.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 irc irc 255 2010-05-11 19:16 ngircd.motd gp@chronos:/etc/ssl$ I've read the SSL guide (found here http://ngircd.barton.de/doc/SSL.txt) and it lists 2 methods for creating the SSL certificate/private key. I've used both without success. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you in advance. Georges
