Uff, I'm an idiot.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC:

IRC was originally a plain text protocol (although later extended),[1]
which on request was assigned port 194/TCP by IANA. However, the de
facto has always been to run IRC on 6667/TCP and nearby port numbers
to avoid having to run the IRCd software with root privileges.
