Re: [ngIRCd-ML] ngIRCd 20.1 can't make SSL server connections with GnuTLS

Hi everyone,

I deployed ngIRCd 20.1 on our server yesterday and ran into a hiccup. I built ngIRCd with these flags:

./configure --enable-ipv6 --with-gnutls --with-pam

We're running two servers, and the second makes a server connection to the first with SSLConnect=yes. This all worked fine in 19.2, but in 20.1 the connection doesn't take. It looks like ngIRCd fails to initialize GnuTLS correctly in this case. Here's the logs on the second server, the one making the connection—this all happens in one second:

There is a post 19.2 change that skips ssl initialization if no ssl listen ports are configured.

If you don't have any ssl listen ports defined, could you do so to see if that makes things work?

Thanks.
