Greetings, I built the STABLE irssi-devel port with proxy (ie, irssiproxy) enabled, and configured the client according to the documentation on the site http://irssi.org/ However, the irssiproxy silently fails each time. The .so module is loaded successfully, and I get no errors about port binding, but netstat never reveals anything listening on the configured ports, and all client connections are immediately rejected. After several non-consecutive hours of blaming the documentation, my own actions, googling, and cvsup'ing my ports and trying again, I decided to try it on another system (Debian/testing). I copied the ~/.irssi directory straight across to the linux box, fired up irssi, and a netstat revealed it was already listening on the configured ports. The subsequent attempts to connect to it from a remote box were also successful. The googling (web and usenet) revealed a few obscure errors where the irssi port would fail to bind to the desired ports with an error message. I was unable to find any solution to this issue posted, and my experience never yielded any binding failure messages. To the owner of the irssi-devel port, is this a known issue? Is there a fix or work-around? HTH, Tim Hammerquist
