Ok, but this should make no difference and not result in different start

I think we should try to get some more information first. You are using the

Hm? I would have xpected some more detailed error message here.

You are using absolute path names for your keys etc. in ngircd.conf, right?
And the permissions do make sense?

Could you show (Pastebin?) your configuration?
And does "ngircd --configtest" show something "interesting"?
