Hello, I am setting up ngircd on ubuntu but when people try and connect the connections are refused and it complains about a password being incorrect. I don't want people to have to set a password when logging in but the password is not set in the config file. Any ideas? Marisa

Is PAM enabled (and enforced)? Check "ngircd --configtest". What exactly do you see in your server log when a user tries to connect? And which client are your users using? Regards Alex

I dont want there to be a server password at all, but disabled PAM and made it non-required. Any ideas? Marisa On 5/29/2022 3:09 AM, Alexander Barton wrote:

The "Bad server password" message indicates that the global server password is configured but not correctly submitted by the client.

Looks like you have a "Password" configured in the [Global] section of the ngIRCd configuration. Please run "ngircd --configtest | less" (or so) to double check! Regards Alex
Nope. Here is what I have: [GLOBAL] Name = minecity.online AdminInfo1 = Marisa Giancarla AdminInfo2 = South San Francisco, CA AdminEMail = fstltna@yahoo.com HelpFile = /usr/share/doc/ngircd/Commands.txt Info = A IRC server for fans of the Minetest/Multicraft games Listen = ::,0.0.0.0 MotdFile = /etc/ngircd/ngircd.motd MotdPhrase = Network = MineCity Password = PidFile = /var/run/ngircd/ngircd.pid Ports = 6667, 6668, 6669 ServerGID = irc ServerUID = irc Any other ideas?

i'm no expert on this, but is it possible that that Password= line is setting the password to the empty string, or to some whitespace, or something? what happens if you comment out that line entirely?
