I am following Jarodīs how-to and somehow after the last reboot, lirc stopped 
working.  It was working fine before the last reboot.

ANY OTHER IDEAS?  COULD IT BE THAT THE PERMISSIONS ON THE DEVICE ARE NOT SET 
PROPERLY? See below.

As you can see below, I have the following loaded:

# rpm -qa {alsa,ivtv,lirc}*
lirc-0.7.0-45.rhfc2.at
ivtv-firmware-dec-2.02.023-4.at
ivtvdev-0.8-1.rhfc2.at
alsa-lib-1.0.8-18.rhfc2.at
alsa-utils-1.0.8-12.rhfc2.at
ivtv-kmdl-2.6.10-1.770_FC2-0.2.0-65_rc3g.rhfc2.at
ivtv-0.2.0-65_rc3g.rhfc2.at
lirc-devices-0.7.0-1.rhfc2.at
lirc-lib-0.7.0-45.rhfc2.at
ivtv-firmware-1.8a-4.at
ivtv-firmware-enc-2.04.024-4.at
ivtv-kernheaders-0.2.0-65_rc3g.rhfc2.at
lirc-kmdl-2.6.10-1.770_FC2-0.7.0-45.rhfc2.at

and the devices are there:

# ls -l /dev/lirc*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     5 Mar 18 18:59 /dev/lirc -> lirc0
c---------  1 root root 61, 0 Jan  8 08:53 /dev/lirc0
c---------  1 root root 61, 1 Jan  8 08:53 /dev/lirc1
c---------  1 root root 61, 2 Jan  8 08:53 /dev/lirc2
c---------  1 root root 61, 3 Jan  8 08:53 /dev/lirc3
srw-rw-rw-  1 root root     0 Mar 29 18:37 /dev/lircd

ARE THE PERMISSIONS CORRECT?

I manually started lircd

# /etc/init.d/lircd start
Starting infrared remote control daemon:                   [  OK  ]

and I get the following in the log file when I run MythFrontEnd

# tail /var/log/messages
Mar 29 18:37:36 mbox lircd: lircd startup succeeded
Mar 29 18:37:36 mbox lircd 0.7.0[14672]: lircd(any) ready
Mar 29 18:39:09 mbox lircd 0.7.0[14672]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd

Mar 29 18:39:09 mbox lircd 0.7.0[14672]: caught signal

and when I try irw...

# irw
connect: Connection refused

ANY OTHER IDEAS?
