There is no init script for bitlbee. There seems to be one for bitlbeed, but using that results in unexpected behavior. There is RunMode = ForkDaemon now anyway, so imho the whole bitlbeed thing should go away. Or it should at least error when RunMode != inetd, which is needed to run bitlbee with bitlbeed. Reproducible: Always For now I just used the bitlbee init-script that comes with Debian, works fine.
Fix in CVS
So /etc/init.d/bitlbeed moved to /etc/init.d/bitlbee recently? Inspecting the init scripts and trying to run it not listening on default port but another, is it possible /etc/conf.d/bitlbeed vanished and /etc/conf.d/bitlbee not being used anymore?
