Hello,
I installed ngircd at freebsd 7.0. There are problems and questions about ngircd and irc in general.
The first problem: ---------------------------- I can´t reach ngircd from the internet when I use pf at freebsd. All other services working fine without problems. With command "tcpdump -i pflog0" I received the following errormessage: 10:46:11.913489 IP pD96FFF32.dip.t-dialin.net.7238 > test.ircd: tcp 24 [bad hdr length 0 - too short, < 20]
I tested the connection with 3 different irc clients at 2 different internet connection with the same result.
Are the realy differents between "normal" packets (for example http or ssh and irc packets about size?
Is there a solution for this problem ? -----------------------------
The secound problem: ----------------------------- When I start ngircd by restart freebsd (rc.conf: ngircd_enable=YES) I always received the errormessage: Can´t change working directory to "/nonexistent": No such file or directory". At this situation, the ChrootDir parameter is not active in ngircd.conf.
What can I do ?
When I activate Chrootdir /var/empty (defaultsetting) the irc server don´t work. (fatal error)
What can I do ? -----------------------------
The first question: ----------------------------- What is the best nickserv for ngircd ? Is there a howto about implement this nickserv to ngircd -----------------------------
Best Regards Marc
