I really like this sever but I'm having a bit of a problem setting up my ngircd.conf. Yes this should be a simple thing but it not working like I expected.

And the error message is...?

I have 3 servers setup and would like them to connect to each other. main server main.com 2nd server second.com 3rd server third.com

on main.com

[SERVER] Name = main.com Host = Port = 0 MyPassword = PeerPassword = Group = -1 Passive = no

No, main.com does not need a server entry for itself. This should be [Global] Name = main.com etc.

[SERVER] sections are only needed for peers, in your case second/third.example.com

[SERVER] Name = second.com Host = Port = 0 MyPassword = PeerPassword = pleaseLetMeIn Group = -1 Passive = no

a zero-length MyPassword is probably invalid (I didn't verify this yet; if so thats a bug; ngircd should enforce this and complain loudly if it is empty).

[SERVER] Name = third.com

[..]

MyPassword =

see above.

on 2nd server

[SERVER] Name = second.com

Hmm, this should be "main.com"?

Host = main.com Port = 6667 MyPassword = pleaseLetMeIn PeerPassword = Group = -1 Passive = no

looks ok, except PeerPassword, it should be the same as the MyPassword set on main.example.com. (Yes, both the server that initiates and the server that accepts the connection send a password).

same goes for the [Server] section on server #3.
