Sorry.. really stupid question
that does not work from my terminal window or from from my irc window
then the ngircd binary is not in PATH. Try "locate ngircd" to find it.
Alternatively, ngircd outputs the version when new clients connect:
00:02 -!- Irssi: Connection to localhost established 00:02 -!- Welcome to the Internet Relay Network fw!~fw@127.0.0.1 00:02 -!- Your host is irc.local.strlen.de, running version ngircd-16 (i686/pc/linux-gnu)
There is also a /VERSION command that should work from the irc client.
