HI Alexander!
 
Tnx for your reply. So you suggest to not use a PASS if the user is not registered right?
But even sending a NICK without  a PASS:
 
NICK guest\n
USER guest 0 * :Ronnie Reagan\n
 
i get a 'Client "guest" unregistered: Read error!' This would suggest to register the user 'guest'.
Usually, when using other IRC Client, a user can connect to an IRC Server without  being registered before (i.e.: msg nickserv register PASSWORD EMAIL)

Really \n\r, ASCII 10, ASCII 13? This should be \r\n, ASCII 13, ASCII 10.

And please note: If you send a „PASS“ command at all, the user must exist! In your case ngIRCd must be able to authenticate „guest“ with password „NOPASS“.

If you don’t want to use passwords, don’t send a „PASS“ command at all.

So ngIRCd thinks you didn’t complete user registration in time.

The „/“ is a client-only convention, all „raw“ commands aren’t prefixed with this „command character“.

Are you? ;-)
