i was looking back through the mailing list archive, and i found that others were having the same trouble we're currently having with ircd on freebsd. that is, it seems not to work when you #define CRYPT_OPER_PASSWORD. i think the trouble is with the type of encryption. if you have des encrypted passwords in the conf file, and freebsd is using md5 type compression, it's obviously not going to work. i even tried putting the md5 encrypted password in the conf file, but that wouldn't work either.. anyway, i think the solution is to install des, because ircd can't handle the md5 passwords. i will try it as soon as someone gets here who can install des. don't forget you'll have to change your /etc/passwd passwords too. -- pity this busy monster, manunkind, Dennis Moore, eboai Sarah not. Progress is a comfortable disease. archon@tamu.edu McLachlan -e.e. cummings: One Times One archon on the irc "Black" If i cried me a river of all my confessions would i drown in my shallow regret?
