question about ngircd
by Michiel van Es 29 Mar '13

Hello, I am using the latest ngircd on a raspberry pi (armhf) with Debian Wheezy. I was wondering if I can restrict the creation of rooms/channels in Ngircd? I've created 2 rooms/channels which I want to be the only one available and that other people can only use those 2 rooms and can not create their own. Is that possible? Thanks for any help. Michiel

Hello, I'm trying to configure/build ngircd on AIX 6.1, and got the following error. Reporting it because it asked me nicely. root@r59s2h4:/twiki/ngircd/ngircd-20.2 # ./configure checking build system type... powerpc-ibm-aix6.1.0.0 checking host system type... powerpc-ibm-aix6.1.0.0 checking for a BSD-compatible install... ./install-sh -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... ./install-sh -c -d checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... no checking for nawk... nawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking for suffix of executables... checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed checking for style of include used by make...

A little pam help?
by Doug 06 Mar '13

Hi, I was wondering if someone could shed some light on how to use PAM with ngircd? I've set PAM = yes, and PAMIsOptional = no, but I'm kind of fuzzy on how this is supposed to work. The client connects with a nick and username, (in this case my username for both, douglasl). The server rejects the connection, and logs: [18632:6 5] Accepted connection 7 from 127.0.0.1:59814 on socket 6. [18906:3 5] PAM: Error on "douglasl" (douglasl!~douglasl@localhost): Authentication failure [18632:3 5] User "douglasl!~douglasl@localhost" rejected (connection 7): Bad password! [18632:6 5] Shutting down connection 7 (Bad password) with localhost:59814 ... [18632:5 5] Client "douglasl" unregistered (connection 7): Bad password [18632:6 5] Connection 7 with localhost:59814 closed (in: 0.1k, out: 0.0k). Riiight. I'm pretty sure I've got pam working, because I can use pamtester well enough: ~/ngircd/pamtester-0.1.2/src# ./pamtester login douglasl authenticate Password: pamtester: successfully authenticated So, the question is, how the irc client supposed to be supplying the password for the user? The raw commands to the server after connect are PASS / NICK / USER, which sound like they should be all I need. :/ Any ideas? ~ Doug.
