#834 closed enhancement (fixed)

Make IPC socket path configurable at runtime

Description

I am using the Debian (wheezy) package of Bitlbee (3.0.3-1) and I prefer to run it as an unprivileged user. The problem with that is that the path for the IPC socket is only configurable at compile-time, so I always get this error:

Error: Could not remove old IPC socket at /var/run/bitlbee.sock: Permission denied

The problem is not with privileges; it is that I can not tell Bitlbee (at runtime) to put the IPC socket in ~/.bitlbee/

TBH I'm tempted to just kill that IPC socket. Nothing uses it and this error/warning message is a continuous source of confusion... :-/

I'll try to make it optional somehow, in case someone finds a use for it later.
