I have a Ubiquiti Bullet running BBHN 1.0.1. I wanted to load the ngircd package on it. It shows ngircd 15.2 as the version available in the package manager. It appears to have downloaded and installed correctly and I have it setup as an advertised service. However when trying to connect get a connection refused message in the IRC client. I think the problem maybe that there is some additional configuration needed in the ngircd.conf file but I can't find any information on what I need to edit. I believe the latest version on the WRT-54G in ngircd 20.2 and it handles some configuration that the older versions may not. Am I on the right path? Is there any one who can assist me with this? You can also reach me via my email at n7ryn@arrl dot net. Thanks!

May help for a manual on the configuration.

I'm not sure off hand what custom mods may have been done to the other package off hand.

When I packaged ngircd v20.2 for the WRT54G the post-install script basically does two edits on the default config file.

The first is to us the node's hostname as a server name within an IRC network, should you choose to connect multiple IRC servers. This is close to the beginning of the config file, in the [Global] section, of the form

        name = ae5ae-base2.mesh

This is NOT, nor should be confused with, a hostname for a WiFi or TCP/IP network -- it is strictly for IRC. **BUT** it is required.

The second edit is to insert the node's root password into the config file as the password for the IRC Operator login. This operator account is for managing the server, not individual channels (Channel Op). You should be able to read about these account in the manual Conrad pointed you to above. This edit is done in the first [Operator] section in the config file. The line will look like this:

        Password = AbraCadDabra

That's it.
