Alexander and Christoph,
Thank you for the prompt replies. Sorry for the delay, we were very busy last night.
Jan 11 13:59:18 boogie ngircd[9566]: ngircd 19.2-SYSLOG+ZLIB+SSL+IRCPLUS+IPv6-x86_64/pc/linux-gnu started. Jan 11 13:59:18 boogie ngircd[9566]: Using configuration file "/etc/ngircd/ngircd.conf" ... Jan 11 13:59:18 boogie ngircd[9566]: Warning: Error during SSL initialization, continuing ...
Hm? I would have xpected some more detailed error message here.
You are using absolute path names for your keys etc. in ngircd.conf, right? And the permissions do make sense?
Yes, absolute path names. I didn’t realize it but the certtool-generated key allowed only root to read it. I fixed the permissions on the key and it seems to work fine now.
Again, thanks for the replies - I should have seen this yesterday!
Thanks also for ngircd!
John
