I did change the * in listen to my IP address. No behaviour changed.
Actually I have now tried running rageircd without the /etc/init.d
script, via:
sudo -u Debian-rageircd rageircd -c /etc/rageircd/rageircd.conf
Now, I see the following on stdout:
No random state, generating entropy from /dev/random. I see this
repeatedly if I ctrl-c that process.
If I repeatedly perform in another shell:
cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
while rageircd is still running, it always comes back with very small
numbers, e.g. 24 or 35.
So, my guess is that rageircd can't get past this startup phase due to a
lack of entropy in the random number generator. The thing is, I don't
wish to use secure connections anyway. I have tried changing
rageircd.conf to include:
listen * {
port 7667;
port 7667 {
secure no;
};
};
to try to turn off security, but so far this has had no effect. (yes I
intended 7667 here, as I'm running dancer-ircd on 6667 for my users
until I can get rageircd working)
It would also be interesting to know what else on my system is eating
all the randomness, but I don't know how to tell that.

What does happen if you replace the "*" with your IP address, and
issue a single "port 6667;" statement? I know that this is not what
you intend to do, but it might enlighten us where to look for the issue.
