Package: ngircd
Version: 0.10.0-2
Severity: normal

Having some trouble configuring a link I was wondering why ngircd does
not write any logging information.  Looking I found usage of syslog is
explicitely disabled in debian/rules.  Is there any sense doing this?

After a recompile I found a few error messages in the syslog, the
most important one is due to a typo in the shipped ngircd.conf:
|         PidFile /var/run/ngircd/ngircd.pid
(an "=" is missing)

I'd suggest to drop the pidfile handling in the start-stop-daemon
invokation:

|   start)
|         echo -n "Starting Next generation IRC server: " 
|         start-stop-daemon --start --chuid irc:irc \
|         --exec /usr/sbin/ngircd
|         echo "ngircd."

works for me.
