Please either: a) try https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ngircd-18-2.el6 which should fix this issue. or b) run avahi on the machine.
The updated rpm works so far. The service starts and I can connect with an IRC client. Thanks
Recompiled the srpm under CentOS5. The tcp_wrapper-devel dependency had to be removed for a successful build. So far, it seems to work, so it could be released for el5 and el6
