    Aug 17 13:07:12 bbs ircd2[2161]: !JavaScript /sbbs/exec/load/ircd/core.js line 1533: ReferenceError: node is not definedThis could be reproduced by running ircd from systemd and having a user logged into the BBS. If there is no user, the issue cannot be reproduced. I don't know if it affects ircd running as a service from sbbs.This also manifests the issue~~~Aug 17 13:07:24 bbs ircd2[2161]: Trying to read configuration from: /sbbs/ctrl/ircd2.confAug 17 13:07:24 bbs ircd2[2161]: Creating new socket object on port 6666Aug 17 13:07:24 bbs ircd2[2161]: 0015 !ERROR 98 binding IRCd socket to port 6666: Address already in useAug 17 13:07:24 bbs ircd2[2161]: !Error Error: Unable to add host to socket set creating listening socket on port 6666Aug 17 13:07:24 bbs ircd2[2161]: !Module (/sbbs/exec/ircd.js) set exit_code: 1~~~This can lead to a rapid DOS attack by causing the disk to fill since these errors are generated at high speed. more than 7 per second.
