Re: Please,please patch your ircd

[Andy De Petter <adepette@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We have "tried" to patch a server, by compiling that one, but the server
refused to accept connections after starting up the new one.

I don't know what caused it, but fact is that we had to restart the old
(unpatched) one, to be able to accept clients.

The reason that the clients got (even from localhost) was: connection
timed out.  I tried to disable iauth (when something goes wrong, blame
iauth), but no use....

Anyone has seen this phenomenon before?

regards,

-andy
