Hey folks,
we are trying to setup ngircd for a support-channel and its working fine so far. That was the easiest configuration of all irc-daemons I could find yet :-). We were even able to link two servers in a minute.
Just the following problem arises now, I configured an operator in the config-file. I read in the archives that I should use "/OPER user secret" to activate it. But it tells me "Unknown command: oper", any hint what I may have done wrong? Can't I enter that once I am in a channel?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Which client are you using? Are you sure it understands the OPER command? (okay, it really should, but can one be sure?)
Most clients understand an "QUOTE" command to pass text unchanged to the IRC server; if yout client does please try the following: "/QUOTE OPER user pass". Does this work?
If nothing else helps try to compile ngIRCd with the sniffer enabled and have a look at which commands it receives ...

No, that should be no problem.

It was just the crappy GAIM. I thought that the client doesn't have much to do with it and would just send the request through to the server. Seems like I'm mistaken.
Sorry for the noise.
