iauth timeout [take 2]

["Stephen Biggs" <s_c_biggs@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

[Just in case the server wouldn't take this because I wasn't 
subscribed, I am resending it... please excuse the duplicate if in fact 
I am in error!]

I am trying to run an IRCD server on a local network to test some 
software. 

I downloaded and compiled (make install) irc2.10.3p2 using all 
default values except for DEBUGMODE defined because of this 
problem. 

I am not running any sort of auth/identd server so I would like to be 
able to connect to the server without any timeout. 

However, no matter what I do, the server takes a full 30 seconds to 
connect back to the client on initial connect; then everything is ok. 

In my iauth.conf file I have everything commented out except for 
timeout = 2 ... and module rfc931 	timeout = 2 

... something else is weird because if I run ircd from the command 
line: /usr/local/sbin/ircd -t -x 3 -q ... and then I hit ^C to kill it, it tries 
to restart but then I get: 

/usr/local/sbin/ircd: error: unable to find "/usr/local/sbin/iauth" 


... but of course it is there. 


Also, no logs are generated except for the stdout to the console. 


Permission problems? 


Any help would be appreciated.
