abrupt shutdown
by Anthony Kepler 30 Mär '04

30 Mär '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 Mär '04

26 Mär '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?

oper commands and stuff
by 513＠dainet.ro 10 Feb '04

10 Feb '04

Hi there, Alex and the rest of you this proggy is really cool, lighweight and flawless (well..), i am delighted BUT, i am kinda newbie to this thing and i was wondering if there's a place where i can read about the commands i can issue as an ircop/irc admin on ngircd. i also have a small problem with the [Channel] section, it seems i can only define one channel although i added two more [Channel]'s ngircd ignores them.. any idea? i am sure the syntax is correct (are you sure there's no [/Channel] tag?) :-) Another thing: could i specify a number of joins for a host only? i would like to use Eggdrop as a pseudo-chanservices but with what i know till now that would mean to set the max joins to unlimited.. which is quite crappy. Thanks in advance. keep up the good job!

ngIRCd 0.7.7
by Alexander Barton 05 Feb '04

05 Feb '04

Hello! ngIRCd 0.7.7 is out right now! Changes since 0.7.6: - The info text ("real name") of users is set to "-" if none has been specified using the USER command (e. g. "USER user * * :"). Reason: the original ircd doesn't like empty ones and would KILL such users. - Fixed (optional) TCP Wrapper test which was broken and could result in false results. Thanks to Fuminori Tanizaki <tany(a)mcnet.ad.jp>! - Removed "USE_" prefixes of configuration #defines. It's available as usual from (~264 KB): - <http://download.berlios.de/ngircd/ngircd-0.7.7.tar.gz> - <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/ngircd-0.7.7.tar.gz> - <ftp://Arthur.Ath.CX/pub/Users/alex/ngircd/ngircd-0.7.7.tar.gz> And the patch from 0.7.6 to 0.7.7 (~9 KB) and GnuPG signatures: - <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/> - <ftp://Arthur.Ath.CX/pub/Users/alex/ngircd/> Have fun!

IRC Services
by xalp＠firstream.net 29 Jan '04

29 Jan '04

Hi ! I would like to know if there are compatible services for ngIRCd, but if there are none, I'd like to develop them (nickserv, chanserv, ...) So I'd like to know if it's possible to catch events like channel joins (even if the service is not on the channel), connexions to the server and other stuff from a simple irc "client" (which would be the service) I hope you'll understand my bad bad english ;) Thank you xalp

Hi Renato! > Actually, there is 2 passwords to set in the main configuration file: the Global one and the server one. If i well understood the documentation available with the sources - > not-so-friendly-must-admit-as-almost-any-rfc-use-to-be - and also in the well-commented ngircd config file, the GLOBAL password is required to make any connection by any user, and the SERVER password is required for...? Administration of the server? How does it is made? The is "password" in the [global] section which configures a password that every user connecting to this server must supply. If not, the connection is denied. When leaving this variable empty (the default) the server does not require a user password. The second password you can define is an operator password in an [operator] section: an user can become IRC operator using the OPER command. This command requires a name and a password which are defined in the server configuration file. Please note two things: a) the "name" has nothing to do with the nick name of the user issuing the OPER command and b) you can define more than one IRC operator. Finally, the third and fourth password is used for server-server-links when you are running an "server network"; these passwords are configured in a [server] section: when establishing an server-link, "PeerPassword" is sent to the foreign server and "MyPassword" must match the password which is received of the remote server: local server A remote server B PeerPassword ------> MyPassword MyPassword <-------- PeerPassword A sends "PeerPassword" to B. B checks if the received password equals its "MyPassword" and -- if so -- sends its "PeerPassword" back to A. Now A checks if the received password equals its "MyPassword". The server-link is only established when both password pairs match. > Second question: to make a new "Channel" available, what is the command (telnet or xchat) to fire? JOIN #channel > With the operation of a "join" command the > Channel is created - it is not possible at this moment at least in this server to deploy a new Channel via config file. Is a Channel a persistent thing? Or it dies as soon as the server is down /restarted? Classical IRC channels are not persistent at all: they are created when the first user joins and destroyed when the last user parts. A channel can't exist without at least one user in it. But the ngIRCd introduces a new channel mode "P" to declare a channel to be persistent: such a channel does exist even without users joined to it. IRC operators can toggle this channel mode using the MODE command. And you can pre-define persistent channels using [channel] sections in the configuration file (see doc/sample-ngircd.conf). > Last: Please point me any available documentation to admin the new server - i'm feeling very unconfortable with my few irc knowledge level at this moment. Hm, perhaps <http://irchelp.org/> would be a good starting point ... > ps.: Excuses for my bad English - if any. My $LOCALE is pt_br... Never mind, mine is de_DE :-) Regards Alex -- Alexander Barton, Freiburg, Germany http://www.barton.de/, alex(a)barton.de

Good day, I must confess i'm a total newbee with irc daemons, and never started to admin any other before ngircd, so, please don't shoot too fast. I'm running linux 2.6.1 and ngircd v. 0.7.6 - stable. Actually, there is 2 passwords to set in the main configuration file: the Global one and the server one. If i well understood the documentation available with the sources - not-so-friendly-must-admit-as-almost-any-rfc-use-to-be - and also in the well-commented ngircd config file, the GLOBAL password is required to make any connection by any user, and the SERVER password is required for...? Administration of the server? How does it is made? Second question: to make a new "Channel" available, what is the command (telnet or xchat) to fire? With the operation of a "join" command the Channel is created - it is not possible at this moment at least in this server to deploy a new Channel via config file. Is a Channel a persistent thing? Or it dies as soon as the server is down /restarted? Last: Please point me any available documentation to admin the new server - i'm feeling very unconfortable with my few irc knowledge level at this moment. ps.: Excuses for my bad English - if any.

Decompression error!
by Anthony Kepler 27 Dez '03

27 Dez '03

I'm trying to setup a very simple 2 system "network"... Both ends are using ngircd (I'm using 0.7.5, the other end is using 0.7.0) I keep getting a rather endless loop of the following in my /var/log/messages: Dec 23 19:54:21 melvin ngircd[12231]: Accepted connection 1 from 12.241.198.87:49787 on socket 4.

Bug?
by Ilja Osthoff 06 Dez '03

06 Dez '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, there, one question: as far as I understood, the ngIRCd should connect to the next server in one group, in case the first doesn't answer? Is that right? In my configuration (newest Debian package of the ngIRCd), the server tried to connect to the first server, but ignores the second. As soon as I comment the first out, it connects to the "second". Any hints?
