	Hello

	Try to start it from the command line. IMHO, starting the server
from inetd is not the right thing to do. Probably there is another ircd
waiting on the port, and the second one cannot start. Try a 'netstat -tn'
and see if someone is waiting on the port ircd.
	You may try to trace the program (there is a way to do it in
Solaris). See where it blows up.
