[hybrid] Unsuccessfully connecting hybserv to ircd-hybrid: (Invalid servername.)

[John Rilling]

Thanks for the extra set of eyes Mark. I tripled checked my config file for an extra 'sid' line but I don't have one. I even removed the "#/*" commented lines containing 'sid' and still have exactly the same 

[root at jpn1ircserver-ircd-prod-01 ircd]# grep sid /etc/ircd/ircd.conf
        sid = "7SS";
         * consider ourselves split.  This must be set for automatic splitmode.
         * consider ourselves split.  This must be set for automatic splitmode.
         * it has the side effect of hiding the ips everywhere, including

Sorry for "double post". I should add, by ID, i'm guessing it's talking about sid. This is taken from example.conf under the serverinfo block.

        /*
         * sid: a server's unique ID.  This is three characters long and must
         * be in the form [0-9][A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9].  The first character must be
         * a digit, followed by 2 alpha-numerical letters.
         * NOTE: The letters must be capitalized.  This cannot be changed at runtime.
         */
        sid = "_CHANGE_ME_";
