Subject: Linode 43219/ alsach.at : SID probleme running IRC chat server

Hi

I tried to install IRC Server for a group work. IRCD
https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/servergui ... erver.html
All was ok but when startded

I had following message

j*p@li89-190:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/ircd-irc2 restart*
*Restarting irc server daemon: ircdFatal Error: Invalid sid specified in
ircd.conf*


I need informatioabout the SID and location I have to use from
our domain.

> PArametrization in my ircd.conf


############################
# M: [MANDATORY]. This line sets your server's name, description and port
# the server listens for UDP pings (used to determine the fastest link in a
# class when autoconnecting)
#
# M:<Server NAME>:<YOUR Internet IP#>:<Geographic Location>:<Port>:<SID>:
#
# Note that 'server name' refers to the name of the irc-server which needs
# not to be the same as the hostname of the machine it's running on.
# Note that <SID> must be globally unique, so if you are part of bigger
# network, ask other admins, what to set it to. If you are on IRCnet, ask
# your local coord. If you are (BIC) Coord on IRCnet, you have a pool of
# 36 SIDs to choose from. Check doc/ISO-3166-1 file to find your country
# numeric code (example: 000) and assign one SID for every of your servers
# starting from 000A, through 000Z, 0000 and ending at 0009.
#
# This let's ircd use the primary ip of your host to establish connections

# This let's ircd use the ip 127.0.0.2 to establish connections, useful
# if you're running virtual interfaces

Can you tell me more about the SID parameter I should use on my server?

The problem isn't the SID value; it's the missing IP address after the hostname
