All;I used the package just called irc, version 2.10.3p1. Might also be called ircd; not sure where I grabbed it, and a certain patch for it, from. I can send both to you, if you like.
I need to set up a small (private) IRC Chat server. Can anyone recommend any good software?
I'm running it chroot on one public machine for the secteam, only listening to the localhost interface. The secteam then has to ssh in to one account, which only does port forwarding to that port.
Makes a great secure IRC server. Also allows me to make sure that only the people whom I want to grant access can get onto the server, and ensures all of our communication is encrypted. On the client end, one connects to localhost:6667 after establishing the ssh connection.
I'll do a writeup of this one of these days with links to all of the appropriate software. It will probably help me too because I really don't remember what I all did to get it up and running. =)
I'll warn you that many IRCd packages are serious PITA to deal with.
