I thought I'd give ratbox a go, and it's actually a bit overwhelming... cool! :) Is there any documentation on setting up the icrd.conf file or any tutorials out there? I've run into what's most likely a dumb n00b conundrum, and I wanna rtfm before asking questions... ;) All the best, -norm

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it! Though I've idled in plenty of channels in my day, I've previously only set up one ircd and it was a simple unreal server running on Windows. I'm trying ratbox because the ratbox-services sound interesting. In the case of my ratbox server I've decided to try ircd-ratbox-3.0.6 with ratbox-services-1.2.3 running on a Fedora 12 vm under esxi. The Fedora firewall is disabled and the port forwarding on my hardware router/firewall is working. My goal is to have a working ircd I with ssl enforced when connecting. The error I get when trying to connect is this: * Connecting to my.server.external.dns.name (my.exter.nal.ip) port(Continue reading)
> You are trying to connect via SSL on a non-ssl port, try 11101. I thought that as well, but when I try that: /server my.server.external.dns.name +11101 * Connecting my.server.external.dns.name (my.exter.nal.ip) port 11101... * Connection failed. Error: Connection refused I have the port forwarding in my router/firewall set to forward 11001 as well as 11101 to 192.16.1.15. All the best, -norm
Well, then it probably binds the ssl port on your ipv6 address, try this:
listen {
aftype = ipv4;
port = 11001;
host = "192.168.1.15";
sslport = 11101;
aftype = ipv6;
host = "3ffe:1234:a:b:c::d";
port = 11001;
};

> Connection refused indicates otherwise. Yup, I've thought the same thing. I've quadruple-checked the port forwarding, recreated it into one big range, rebooted everything.... all to no effect. It occurs to me that I'll get a 'connection refused' when I try to connect when the ircd service isn't running; is it possible that ssl needs a daemon? I've never heard of such a thing, but you never know ;) All the best, -Norm
Just to give a follow up: To rule out that it was some incompatibility with Fedora, I tried this on a fresh Debian install with no software firewall. Unfortunately, I get the same errors. I'm really stuck! :( I really, truly, honestly believe that this isn't a firewall issue, and it is instead a configuration issue. I get the same errors trying to connect from localhost, and if I connect to my server without ssl I do get scolded for not having ssl and get the spoof text from ircd.conf. Is there any way to turn on extended logging? All the best, -Norm
Also, could my woes stem from how I created the key? These are the commands I followed to create the key files: openssl genrsa -des3 -out rhel.key 1024 openssl req -new -key rhel.key -out rhel.csr cp rhel.key rhel.key.org openssl rsa -in rhel.key.org -out rhel.key openssl x509 -req -days 7300 -in rhel.csr -signkey rhel.key -out rhel.cert openssl dhparam -out rhel.pem 1024 All the best, -norm
Can you connect to it okay without using SSL?

A keygen script is included in the ratbox distribution, it might be worth trying to use that first.
