I am trying to setup an IRC server in my SLES10. I installed the IRCD package from the SLES media using Yast. I modified the ircd.conf located in /etc/irdc as follow:

# $Id: example.conf,v 1.9 1997/12/19 12:29:53 kalt Exp $
M:irc.my_host_name::Ottawa:6667
A:<My_Name>:<My_E-mail_Address>:<Other_Contact_info>::
P::::6667:
Y:14:90::100:512000:3.3:3.3
I:*::*::*::1
o:<username>:<password>:<nick>::10

I also modified ircd.motd with a welcome message. When I executed ircd and I got this message:
“WARNING: running ircd with uid = 39
changing to gid 65534.”

I am able to open an IRC client in the host itself and connect to the IRC server. However, when I try to open a second client using a different user in the host itself I get the following error:
“[error] Closing Link: <nick>[unknown@ipaddress] (Too many connections)
[error] Connection to Server <ipaddress> lost. Remote host closed connection. Trying to reconnect”

In addition to this I cannot connect using a client in a different PC. I disabled the firewall to be sure is not an issue with the security policies of the server, but the problem persist.

Any ideas???
