UnrealIRCd Forums

Today we released a small update to fix two issues in UnrealIRCd 6.0.x. We only suggest upgrading if you are impacted by these problems. Most users will probably not upgrade and wait for 6.0.5 later this year. Fix sporadic crash when linking a server (after successful authentication). This feels lik...

Today we have found someone who offered to create the webpanel: SketchNI. The following components were chosen: PHP - because lots of people know PHP, including some unrealircd devs/contributors, it seems like the safest choice Laravel - because it's one of the most popular frameworks VueJS - for th...

Small update after 48hrs: Most of the people who joined the channel have shown interest in the concept but nobody has actually come forward to work on the admin panel yet. There's also a sizable group which has shown interest in the JSON-RPC UnrealIRCd API for use cases other than the webpanel, whic...

IMPORTANT: This post contains outdated information, as this first attempt stalled/failed. For the new webpanel, see UnrealIRCd webpanel on the wiki. Original post: We are envisioning an "admin panel" where IRCOps would be able to do a number of server tasks, starting with: Status overview...

This release comes with lots of features and enhancements. In particular, security groups and mask items now allow you to write cleaner and more flexible configuration files. There are also JSON logging enhancements and several bug fixes. Thanks a lot to everyone who tested the release candidates! R...

On Windows UnrealIRCd keeps 2000 entries in total of whowas history. Where 1 entry is used on every QUIT or nick-change. So how long you can read back depends on how many users are actively quiting or nick-changing. I have not tested it, though. Do you think it is not reaching this 2000 and is happe...

What do you get if you type this on the shell in your unrealircd-x.y.z compile directory?

I agree with PeGaSuS and CrazyCat, everything looks like you use a shell provider who does not allow background processes on this machine.

Glad to hear that was it and the module manager is working now.

If you run the /MODULE command, do you see the 3rd party module listed?
If not then it is not loaded. So make sure you have your loadmodule line in the right file, not in a /* commented out block */, and so on...

I also made it error more clearly now if you use an uncompiled UnrealIRCd directory (have not run ./Config yet).

I suggest you (re)install UnrealIRCd as stated in my previous comment. And afterwards: don't delete the unrealircd-x.y.z directory

Maybe your unrealircd source directory (unrealircd-x.y.z) got partially deleted or is otherwise screwed? If so, you may have to re-run ./Config and make and make install (basically reinstall UnrealIRCd) You should not delete the unrealircd-x.y.z directory after you have installed UnrealIRCd, you sho...

A number of serious issues were discovered in UnrealIRCd 6. We recommend everyone who is running UnrealIRCd 6 to upgrade to 6.0.3. Among the issues fixed is an issue which will likely crash the IRCd sooner or later if you /REHASH with any active clients connected. Read the UnrealIRCd 6.0.3 release n...

Summary OpenSSL and LibreSSL have a bug in their SSL/TLS library that most likely also affects UnrealIRCd. An attacker could cause UnrealIRCd to enter a 100% CPU loop. This makes UnrealIRCd unresponsive to any commands. The ircd will appear "frozen" or "stalled". Details OpenSSL...
