Created attachment 678558 [details] Updated patch to fix the issue The option "SyslogFacility" in the "[Options]" section of ngircd's config file is supposed to be able to tell ngircd where to log. (That option isn't included in the sample config file, but it is mentioned in ngircd.conf(5).) Syslog is set up before the conf file is read, though, and the configured facility is never actually used - logs just go to the default facility. It turns out that bug was discovered in February 2012: http://arthur.barton.de/pipermail/ngircd-git-ml/2012-February/000907.html The actual git commit for a fix is at their repo is here: http://arthur.barton.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=ngircd.git&a=commit;h=3641e511095203818df7ca05439cf42eb7c7c954 That patch doesn't apply directly without some fuzziness which %patch0 doesn't seem to like, so I'll attach an updated patch which applies cleanly to ngircd-18. Perhaps it'd make sense to just update ngircd to its latest version instead (it's at 20.1 now). If I get some more time I'll see about submitting an updated .spec for that.
Okay, well - after some preliminary testing, it looks like ngircd v20.1 works just fine with the current .spec file (with just the version number change). I haven't used it too much, but v20.1 does fix this bug.
Yep. Sorry for the delay here. I will be pushing a 20.1 out here in a bit. testing very welcome...
