I was running minbif in inetd mode (with xinetd)
I just finish to reinstall my dedicated server, moved to minbif 1.0.5

I think not. I'm using it with MSN account, very basically. Just to chat.

I'm using minbif with irssi irc client.
On the previous dedicated server I got 300+ days of uptime of the debian.
I got almost the same uptime for my irssi.
I supposed an also good uptime for the minbif launched by the irssi connection.

Do you know if users of minbif use it for long period of time ?


I see the libpurple ahve lot of dependences... one of them is on dbus.
I decide to try to shutdown the dbus service.
It seems still working...
Do you know if dbus is really usefull ?

Regards,
