Message on Startup

Hi,

Each time a client connects to my IRC server, the following message is displayed:

"(notice) *** If you are having problems connecting due to ping timeouts, please type /quote pong C7D1681B or /raw pong C7D1681B now."

Is there any way to disable this message?

Regards,

David

You could try turning set::options::show-connect-info off if it's on.

Otherwise, it would most likely involve a source code modification (though I stand to be corrected on this), which will cause you to loose support here.

Is that the same as leaving it out?

Damn. Looks like it will have to stay then. Thanks for your reply.

During the Config step, it asks if you want AntiSpoof features. One of them is the PING/PONG exchange on client connect.

So by turning the AntiSpoof off, you disable the initial PING/PONG.

You should only do this for servers with secure network interfaces. In other words, never do this with Windows! (If you do want to disable it in Windows, you'll have to edit the win32 makefile to remove the appropriate definition and compile the ircd.)
