Hello,
I am running ngircd on Debian stable. It is SSL enabled via Gnu_TLS and runs fine when run from the command line. However, attempting to start the server with
service ngircd start
or
/etc/init.d/ngircd start
generates an SSL error (see below). Any suggestions on how to get more debug data? I installed it as a binary package.
Note that I have been running ngircd for years on FreeBSD (thanks!) but am new to running this on Debian. Note also that I am only running an SSL server at the moment, not a “plain” one.
Error output is below. Should I take this up with the package maintainer?
Thanks!
John
