IRCD on Linux

[Shawn_Adams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Shawn Adams)]

Does anyone have a working example of IRCD (I've settled with
ircu2.10.04 for now....) on Linux kernel 2.0.34  in local-only mode ?
(meaning the server only serves a private net, and does not touch
any Internet-based servers) ??

I'm looking for /etc/services, (which should be obvious, mabye not), /etc/inetd.conf entries, and a config.h that works.

Here's mine, from the docs:

/etc/services
irc		6667/tcp
irc		6667/udp

/etc/inetd.conf
ircd    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/ircd \
-f/usr/local/lib/ircd/ircd.conf -o -p6667

the ircd starts, puts nothing to syslog, and writes nothing to the various
log files defined in config.h

The IRC client (2 different clients tried) shows:

*** Connecting to port 6667 of server alpha

and sits........

I did indeed hear about setting loopback MTU to 2000, and tried this as
well, no success.

Any ideas are appreciated....

Thanks
