<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi,<br><br>I'm having a headache of a time building a PC to replace my previous server box, which has been running ircd-hybrid for many years.<br><br></div>The new box is a 64bit machine, with Ubuntu 12.04LTS 64-bit server edition installed.<br>
<br>I've installed ircd-hybrid, and moved my old config across, but when that failed to work, I went back to basics, and used the provided ircd.conf, with only the server IP and the "havent_read_conf" setting changed (i.e. no server passwords or any other obvious gotchas).<br>
<br>The problem is that whenever any client connects, I get the following:<br>21:20 -!- Irssi: Connection to 10.9.2.1 established<br>21:20 !hybrid7.debian.local *** Looking up your hostname...<br>21:20 !hybrid7.debian.local *** Checking Ident<br>
21:20 !hybrid7.debian.local *** No Ident response<br><br></div>....but then *nothing* else. I can leave it for many minutes, (5... 10...), after which the connection sometimes drops out, sometimes doesn't, depending on the client.<br>
<br></div><div>I have tried through the 127.0.0.1 address, and through the eth0 LAN address. I have tried clients on other machines. There is no firewall in the way (nothing in "iptables -L").<br></div><div><br>
</div><div>Don't be fooled by the "No Ident response" final line... I have tried installing an ident server, so that it DID get an ident response, and it halted at just the same point.<br></div><div><br></div>
The version installed here is the stock from Ubuntu12.04LTS, 7.2.2.dfsg.2-6.3 but I have tried other versions from ealier/later Ubuntu distros. I think I've also tired an 8.x version (..I've tried so many things, I've lost track..), and all of those that I have managed to install/compile successfully have behaved the in the same way. My original attempt was a self-compiled .deb with SSL enabled, but, again, that did not work, although the very same .deb did work on another 12.04LTS 64-bit machine. I've even formatted the box, and done a fresh OS install followed by an apt-get install of hybrid-ircd, and still get the same results!<br>
<br></div>I have only found a handful of posts describing this problem on Google, and of those, one ended in the advice of "use another ircd", and the other threads just went cold, or never got a first response. I cannot use another ircd, since I'm joining this to other hybrid-ircds on other boxes.<br>
<br></div><div>(eg <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1432177">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1432177</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/18QqdHs">http://bit.ly/18QqdHs</a> both sound like my problem, but with no solutions).<br>
</div><div><br></div>So.. have you guys come across anything like this? Or, what can I do to help diagnose the problem?<br><br></div>Many thanks,<br></div>--Dave<br><br><div><div><div><br><br><div><br><br></div></div></div>
