Channel Operators
by Michael Belanger 01 Feb '06

Greetings, I have been running ngIRC for a few days and am impressed with how quickly it compiled and just worked nearly out of the box! I have currently two static channels defined in the config file for ngirc. However, I seem to be missing a critical piece of information to setup channel operators. It appears that the operator is normally the channel creator -- when the channel is created on the fly.. For these static channels, I would think that it is predefined in the configuration somewhere. The example conf does not show such an option. Can anyone guide me to the solution? Much thanks! -M -- Michael Belanger CICLOPS, Space Science Institute Join us on IRC: irc.ciclops.org channel #ciclops

Hello, I would like to not have to mess with NickServer. I will be running this IRC server on a private LAN with no outside access and do not want to have to mess with registration. Would I just be able to add --disable-nickserv when running the ./configure script? Thanks much, Aaron

How to register nicks and channels?
by Martin Wegner 16 Jan '06

Hello. Is it possible for users to register nicknames or channels in ngircd? If yes, how? NickServ and ChanServ I know from other IRC servers do not exist, right? I have created an oper in ngircd.conf: [Operator] Name = martin Password = xxxxxxxxxx I have my username set to "martin". How can I identify myself with a password to be the operator? How can I define OPs for a persistent channel?
