If you do want to use ircd-hybrid in Debian I think you should not be building it from sources, but instead use the package itself. Last time I tested latest Debian stable package was working without problems.

Hi Henry,

I used the same conf with the binary pkg from the stable repo. The SSL
part in my conf were completely ignored by the demon. After some google
research, I found the reason why.

"Due to licensing problems, ircd-hybrid is compiled without SSL support
in Debian (i.e. when you grab the .deb package from apt). Compiling it
with SSL yourself does not require many steps however..."

Then I tried the apt-src version and apt claimed that an commit / code
sign from the devs are missing - I had to sign it with an exernal key.
So I think that might be the actual reason for the missong ssl support.

If Mark's tip won't help and I cannot figure out the debian issue, I
take the latest stable source and compile it without apt.

Thx,
Ingo
