Re: ircd.conf newbie help...

[Jeff Hahn <jeffh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the input, I'm slowly but surely nailing this down.  These
servers are running Linux 2.0.32  The servers are working fine solo, I
just can't get them to connect to each other.  Just a few more
questions...

take it that the ident result is not "special" in terms of the regular

"host1.research.bell-labs.com" and "bill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

relevant lines from Alcatraz ircd.conf:

M:alcatraz.streek.com:209.90.10.2:Stranger Creek IRC Server(2):6667:
Y:1:60:300:50:20000:2:5
C:206.216.33.187:xyz1:rikers.streek.com:6667:1
N:*@206.216.33.187:xyz:rikers.streek.com::1

relevant lines from Rikers ircd.conf:

M:rikers.streek.com:206.216.33.187:Stranger Creek IRC Server:6667:
Y:1:60:300:50:20000:2:5
C:209.90.10.2:xyz:alcatraz.streek.com:6667:1
N:*@209.90.10.2:xyz1:alcatraz.streek.com::1

When both servers are fired up with this config, the following syslog
entries result.  I can't figure out why they're trying to connect to
themselves?

Feb  5 10:01:53 alcatraz /usr/local/sbin/ircd[16271]: Failed in
connecting to alcatraz.streek.com[0.0.0.0@.6667] :Transport endpoint is
not connected

Feb  5 10:01:48 rikers /usr/local/sbin/ircd[5935]: Failed in connecting
to rikers.streek.com[0.0.0.0@.6667] :Transport endpoint is not connected

If I telnet into 6667 on one of the servers (from the other server) and
use the "PASS" and "SERVER" commands, I get "no C/N lines defined for
your connection"

The config.h file has been edited to use user "nobody" and group
"nobody"
When I compile without debug set, no errors occur (and the servers work
as expected for clients).  When I try to compile with debug defined I
get these errors.

Thanks again for your help and your patience.
