It's trying to read the configuration file. Make sure ircd.conf exists, is readable by uid 1001, and is in the directory specified by DPATH (which must also be readable and searchable by uid 1001). Don't run ircd setuid, even to a non-root user. Really. It's an insecure configuration, and it's not one of the configurations we routinely test, so it's not guarenteed to even work. If you must, use some wrapper that runs ircd as the intended user--a good one might be the wrapper.c program that's distributed in the tools directory of u2.10.11... -- Kevin L.
