Hi
My problem boils down to porting this xinetd file to launchd:
# default: off
# description: Bitlbee is an IRC gateway to other networks.
service ircd
{
type = UNLISTED
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = bitlbee
group = nogroup
server = /sw/sbin/bitlbee
port = 6667
disable = no
log_on_failure += USERID
}
So this is what I have come up with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd
">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<true/>
<key>Label</key>
<string>org.bitlbee.bitlbee</string>
<key>OnDemand</key>
<true/>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/sw/sbin/bitlbee</string>
</array>
<key>ServiceDescription</key>
<string>bitlbee irc-im proxy</string>
<key>Sockets</key>
<dict>
<key>Listener</key>
<dict>
<key>SockFamily</key>
<string>IPv4</string>
<key>SockProtocol</key>
<string>TCP</string>
<key>SockServiceName</key>
<string>6667</string>
<key>SockType</key>
<string>stream</string>
</dict>
</dict>
<key>inetdCompatibility</key>
<dict>
<key>Wait</key>
<false/>
</dict>
<key>UserName</key>
<string>bitlbee</string>
</dict>
</plist>
And well it does not work. When I try to load (launchctl load
thisfile.plist) I always get a "bind(): Operation not permitted" error
and I can't connect to the server.
And how would I restrict the service to localhost only?
I guess I'm missing something. I'd just like to have bitlbee working
in leopard. Would apreciate some help.
