Anyone have any experience with ircd's under linux?

It's actually not that bad. I've done it under various flavors of linux at various versions and it's all about the same.
If you read the INSTALL file and edit the configuration options, you should be good to go, assuming you're not really trying to connect to an actual IRC network and to external servers. That's something I've never done.
The key to quick success is setting up the IP address masks for allowable connections. The config file actually has tons of commenting describing what's required and what's optional, and I usually just fill out the required sections, restart the server, and all is well.

Thanks, yeah this won't be part of an actual network, just a private ircd where we can't be bothered.

Every ircd I tried was HORRIBLE and buggy with regard to recognizing stuff I put in ircd.conf. I really hate ircds, they're all old and crusty and nasty. The only one I found that's alright is ngircd, but it has barely any features. It was good enough for me though. I've been meaning to try out the ircd stuff in twisted.

I'm not sure how it works, but on efnet we have a private channel that is encrypted using a custom coded script, if you don't have the script, you can't see anything in the channel, its like no one is talking. I can try to find out if you like.

Sure, I'd be interrested in seeing that. Not quite what I'm looking for, but interresting none the less. I'll have to play with the ircds more when I have time. And hard drive space, since I guess I filled up /home 😛
