  Ok.  I've compiled and configured both the latest
git code and
 ircservices 5.1.13.  I've setup ngircd per what you have stated  
 however
 I still cannot get it to work.  I used the rfc1483 module in it and it
 never gets a connection.  It tries once then dies however it does
 indicate that it loaded successfully which at least means that there
 isn't any syntax errors in the config.  Attached are "sanitized"
 versions of my config files.  They are sanitized in that there are no
 personal passwords there.  I changed them for privacy.

 Here are the lines I am getting in my log file

 [Nov 08 13:05:10 2008] IRC Services 5.1.13 starting up
 [Nov 08 13:05:31 2008] Read error from server: Connection reset by  
 peer 
This seems to be an other bug of IRCServices that I forgot to mention  
and had on all my boxes, as well:
IRCServices don't flush the write buffer when the connection to the  
server is established and therefore never sends the USER and NICK  
commands to log in. Which in turn causes the server to disconnect  
IRCServices again because of no commands were received.

Solution #1:
Send IRCServices a HUP signal right after starting it up (kill -HUP  
<PID>).

Solution #2:
I fixed the bug in IRCServices, see my post to the IRCServices mailing  
list:
<http://lists.ircservices.za.net/pipermail/ircservices/2008/005658.html>
So you can a) apply this patch or b) wait for an IRCServices release  
with this patch.
