connection refused as non-root

[Roland J. <ja...@or...>]

hi!

sorry if i ask a already answered question but i'm new
to this list and the archive stops at december:

i installed lirc-0.6.3pre5 (the box runs kernel 2.2.18)
and lirc-xmms-plugin-1.1

everything works fine except i cannot use lirc-xmms
as a normal user, just as root.

i also gave rw permissons to all /dev/lirc* devices,
- o change.

in the NEWS section of the lirc distribution i read
something about TCP/IP support - is it because of
that?

what could be the reason for this behaviour??
