1) It's not that hard to change the bang line to point to the actual location of perl before uploading it.

2) It's also not hard to look to see if the /bin/sh on your system is actually /bin/bash. If you do an ls -l /bin/sh and it shows it is a symlink to bash, it's bash. If it's not a sym link ...

I didn't say it was a bad thing. I was just pointing out that it's NOT. The others aren't either. I only know of one that's RFC compliant at the moment, but it doesn't implement everything. (SUMMON comes to mind, and that's also a good thing.) I was simply trying to help answer the original question.

Normal IRC behavior is this:

IRCops have control over things related to the IRC server and net. They do not have the right to go into an existing channel they aren't a channel op in and change modes on that channel.

Channel ops have control over the channel they own. They do not have the right to ...

EFnet doesn't run UnrealIRCd.

They run Hybrid with an EFNet configuration (at least that's what I believe they run from reading the hybrid configs when setting it up before.)

Hybrid doesn't support IRCops being able to force themselves to have ChanOps.

The IRC RFC's also don't support this ...

You might consider using perl instead of sh. While it's true that sh will likely be on the system, nomatter what UNIX it is, the same can be said for perl. Perl is installed by default on almost every unix I can think of... solaris, linux, *bsd, hpux, tru64, aix. The only system I've used that it ...

1) You have to make sure you're connecting to the port you specified in the unrealircd.conf file to be listening with ssl. The default in the config example is port 6697.

2) You have to specifiy to whatever client you are using that you want to connect using ssl.

XChat Example: /server -ssl ...

Or, if you're behind a router, just listen on a port that you do NOT redirect the outside world to.

listen *:6666-6669 {};

listen *:7000 {};

router config redirects ports 6666-6669 but not 7000;

You connect to 7000 from localhost and do all of your oper stuff from there. Better yet, make 7000 ...

Thanks a lot. This worked like a charm:

./unreal mkpasswd md5 <pass>

Then modify the password line like this:

password "<md5hash>" { md5; };

Where <pass> is the password to hash, and <md5hash> is the result of the mkpasswd.

I suppose I should give more information :P

The OS is slackware linux. The Unreal version is 3.2.3. I am typing the oper name and password correctly (including case) since the unencrypted attempts work. I am remembering to rehash the server (doing it with ./unreal rehash from the command line ...

I just installed UnrealIRCd and saw the portion in the documents about encrypting the Oper password. I tried both md5 and sha1 versions of a password, and can not oper with them. The same password in plain text works just fine, so the Oper block IS functional. I really want to get this working ...
