How did you add it? Try FTPing the package from ftp.freebsd.org and using 'pkg_add' from the command line to add it. > Then I try to run ircd and can't. > If I try as root: > "ERROR: do not run ircd setuid root.

I would run 'chown daemon ircd' (maybe nobody?) to make it setuid daemon instead of root. Running it as root is a security hole (and running it at all probably is too :) ). > I'm trying to fix those problem for one week, and was unable to do it work! > I tryied adding in inetd.conf : > irc stream tcp wait root( tryed others too) /etc/ircd ircd -i That's OK, as long as that's what you're supposed to do to install it (ie, it doesn't run as a standalone daemon like httpd).
