Greetings to
all Linux Professionals,
Because I wanted a max. nickname length of 20 (not 9) I had to compile the ircd server source on my own. I took the latest version from ftp.irc.org/server. Compiling worked fine on my 486 Linux Server, but I have the problem that every connection attempt from another LAN PC needs about 25 seconds to be accepted (which is way to long). After connecting, however, everything works fine. I have found some indication on the web that the DNS lookup may be the problem (as I dont have a DNS installed on my system). But when I set the /etc/resolv.conf and nsswitch.conf not to look for any DNS and start the server with the -s option (which should prevent iauth to start) it still doesn't work. Strangely enough it works when I connect to the internet and set a suitable nameserver. (But then I still have a connection accept time of 2 seconds, which actually is to much). By the way I compiled with #undef SLOW_ACCEPT so that can't be the problem and I tried it with the undernet source, too, which also didn't work. Any suggestions? |
