Thanx for advice Oscar.
I start lirc with a script placed in my /etc/rc3.d
there are two lines that start lirc and the mouse daemon
daemon lircd
daemon lircmd
--
And lircd is a normal process which is running.
I don't understand the thing with socket.
Should i start it with no daemon?
Maybe you are right, but please tell me more about that
