I run phoenix.dal.net on the DALnet IRC Network, we just upgraded to FreeBSD 2.1.5 (BTW if you're going to run an IRC server UPGRADE or you'll find a mem leak in some ircd's with anything below 2.1.5) under the config.h - change the #define CRYPT OPER PASSWORD to #undef CRYPT OPER PASSWORD So far I havent been able to get freeBSD to use the crypt or even compile with the crypt there is defined. It just wont work. If anyone has a fix I know myself and 5 other DALnet servers who will be ever gratefull - I'm told there is a way around it to crypt the passwords but I haven't found anyone who knows. Aparantly the ircd2.8.21.* uses a Linux supported crypt and does not work with FreeBSd - personally, I dunno. But I would like to find a way, it's rather annoying needing to su to root just to make ircd.conf changes :P -Leigh Gaffney Administrator/Webmistress phoenix.dal.net DALnet IRC Network wolenczak@dal.net http://www.dal.net
