Link denied (Authentication failed [Bad password?])

[Slotty]

Good evening,
now I'm sitting hours on one problem, everytime, I want to start my services (anope-1.6.4 / I tried anope-1.7.14, too), they aren't allowed to link with the following error:

[21:35] ••• (s) LocOps -- Link denied (Authentication failed [Bad password?]) [@217.79.182.xx.4267]

But my Passwords are the same and I wrote the config several times (from other sources, too), but everytime there is the error. Several other threads couldn't help, either.
I'll hope, somebody at this board can help me.

Here is my unrealircd.conf:

listen *:6667
{
options
{
ssl;
clientsonly;
};
};

listen *:1278 {
options {
serversonly;
};
};

link services.xyz.com {
username *;
hostname 217.79.182.xx; // Your service server IP
port 1278;
bind-ip *;
password-connect "services";
password-receive "services";
class servers;
};


ulines {
services.xyz.com;
};
[...]
set {
services-server "services.xyz.com";
};

And my services.conf:

RemoteServer services.xyz.com 1278 "services"

ServerName "services.xyz.com"
ServerDesc "Services for IRC Networks"
ServiceUser "[email protected]

Has anybody got an idea, what I've made wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Slotty

Just a random suggestion. Have you made sure to rehash your IRC server before trying to connect the services?

Yes, thousand times, without problems.

[21:35] ••• (s) LocOps -- Link denied (Authentication failed [Bad password?]) [@217.79.182.xx.4267]
RemoteServer services.xyz.com 1278 "services"

Use another password and restart your IRCD.

Did not help. It's really weird.

1. Remove -

Code: Select all

        options {
                serversonly;
        }

2. Rehash server.

3. Re-link services.

Again the same error.

Slotty do it like this : Change your Services Link Password and check all the config like PORT , Services name , SERVER IP e.t.c

RemoteServer services.xyz.com 1278 "password"

And after u change ur services link password please restart your IRCD and tgry to up services.

I did it serveral times. I can also connect manually to the linked server with mIRC. Is there an encryption or something like that?
I can post my config-files or give you the adress, if you don't trust me.

Here is my log-file of anope:

It seems to me, that it gives out a random message.

Thank you for your patience.

try an IP instead of hostname.

try an IP instead of hostname.

Same error again.
By-and-by I feel like an idiot.

RemoteServer localhost 1278 "services"

ServerName "services.xyz.com"

ServiceUser "[email protected]"

I'll check my config when I get the chance and post it for ya. Something else you can do is run your server through port 6667.

And my services.conf:

RemoteServer services.xyz.com 1278 "services"

CHANGE "services.xyz.com" TO THE HOSTNAME OR IP OF YOUR IRCD!!!
