by Anthony Kepler 30 Mar '04

I run a small network of servers running ngircd, three (3) in all. today - about 5 min ago (~20:15 PST) all three ngircd processes abruptly ended. All three of them were ngircd 0.7.7, two were running on Linux and one on FreeBSD. nothing was written to syslog. ...any ideas?

Again...Server connect
by Ilja Osthoff 26 Mar '04

26 Mar '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, there, I am confused about the server group configuration. This should work like this: My server connects to the first server in the group, when the first becomes unavaible, my server connects to the second? Did I understand that right? My Problem: My Server connects only to the second in the list?!?! And when this server goes down, nothing happens.... My server is the newest debian package, my config (only the server group part): - --- [Server] # Other servers are configured in [Server] sections. If you # configure a port for the connection, then this ngircd tries to # connect to to the other server on the given port; if not it waits # for the other server to connect. # There may be more than one server block. # # Server Groups: # The ngIRCd allows "server groups": You can assign an "ID" to every # server with which you want this ngIRCd to link. If a server of a # group won't answer, the ngIRCd tries to connect to the next server # in the given group. But the ngircd never tries to connect to two # servers with the same group ID. # Hostname des Servers Host = arthur.ath.cx # IRC-Name des Servers Name = irc.BIT.netz # Port, zu dem dieser Server eine Verbindung herstellen soll. Wird # kein Port angegeben, so wird auf eine Verbindung der Gegenseite # gewartet. Port = 6667 # Passwort fuer diese Verbindung MyPassword = xxxxxxx PeerPassword = xxxxxxxx # Gruppe, zu der dieser Server gehoert (optional). Group = 100 Host = mow.ath.cx Name = tool.dev.netz Port =6667 MyPassword = xxxxxxxx PeerPassword = xxxxxxxx Group = 100 - --- and ngircd --configtest (again only the server part): - --- [SERVER] Name = tool.dev.netz Host = mow.ath.cx Port = 6667 MyPassword = xxxxxxxx PeerPassword = xxxxxxxx Group = 100 - --- Does anyone see the problem?
