n the connect callback I have to call 'find_person()' to get a pointer to the user since the connect hook only receives a sptr. I have *no* idea what this means at all. "a sptr" sptr is just a variable name. It could just as easily be called "purpledog." The variable passed as s...

That won't work. The local counts are saved in ircd.tune, you would need to shut down unreal, delete this file, then restart it.

Using a module to make /module oper only is something we consider unethical. Users have a right to know what things you have loaded. As a result of this, this thread is now closed.

And I would. I would connect to your server, type /module. It would inform me that "operport" (or whatever the module would be called) is loaded. I would then scan for ports open on the system in an attempt to find this port. Most likely, I'll only have about 10 ports to try. I can quickly...

Initially I tried call m_nick from a hook function in my own module, but I could not call a module from a hook function. When loading ircd, I was getting 'undefined m_nick'. I could not get past that error. I did not see other code that had one module calling another so maybe I do not understand th...

Ever heard of a port scan? Give me about 30 seconds and I'll find the port.

I don't see how your suggestion provides even the slightest bit of security.

Yes you can. This is why deny link blocks are for. You setup a condition for hub2 so that it is only linked to if hub1 is not around.

make custommodule MODULEFILE=mymod EXLIBS=-ldb

Well, use the class blocks! Create a specific class for the admins, and a specific allow block for them. Decrease the cap on the other classes by 24 and set the admin class to 24 max.

It could be possible, yes. But if you don't know C and/or the unreal module API, it will be difficult. Even if you do know them it's still difficult as this requires reimplementing the /oper command.

From my understanding regarding CACert is that it is not a REAL SSL certificate. It is an issued certificate from CACert, but CACert certificates are not accepted as guarnteed authentic by 99.9% like for example verisign. No certificates are "guaranteed" to prove the identity of the user....

I don't think the gray border would work for the forums seeing as how there is no gray anywhere on the forums. If you have some other suggestions though, I'm glad to listen.

If you want /summon, my guess is, you don't really understand what it does...

Just for the record, the modules on codemastr.com should now work fine in 3.2.3.
