There is no REHASH

[unix4linux]

Hi All,

Need a little help. Running unreal on my linux server and installed from source. Everything is fine except that when I make changes to any of my config files, I have to kill the server and start it back up because there is no rehash command. Is this command separate from the unreal package? How can I obtain a copy of it. I did a search on my server and there is no rehash anywhere to be found.

Also, how do I stop/start/restart the server properly instead of killing the process? I don't see any restart/stop/start options or no init scripts :-\

Thanks in advance

As an /oper while connected to your IRCd, try /rehash

Hmmm...ok..I am the admin or set myself as the admin but didn't set any oper's. I tried to do /rehash as my admin user and said command not found. Do I need to make my username as an oper?

I guess to be a real admin, i need to add myself as an oper with the A flag, is that correct?

Thanks for the response

You connect to your server using an IRC client.

Then you /oper <user> <pass> to gain your oper priviledges.

Then you type /rehash.

I typed in /oper /op /opers with username and passwd and it wouldn't work. I get a "no such command and thats from using several different irc clients :-\

There is not one client I know that will give "unknown command" for /oper. As for the other 2 commands you listed that have nothing to do with /oper'ing, those I can understand. Common reasons for /oper not working include you not configuring your IRCd properly for example by adding an oper block.

here is what my oper block looks like...what should I change or did wrong?

oper my_user_name {
class clients;
from {
userhost *@*;
};
password "my_passwd";
flags {
can_rehash;
helpop;
can_globops;
can_wallops;
can_localroute;
can_localkill;
can_kline;
can_unkline;
can_localnotice;
can_globalroute;
can_globalkill;
can_globalnotice;
global;
can_dccdeny;
can_setq;
admin;
services-admin;
netadmin;
can_zline;
can_gzline;
can_gkline;
get_host;
};
};

Thanks for the help

Nothing wrong that I can see but I may have missed somthing.

Anyway from what you have there to gain your priviledges on IRC type /oper my_user_name my_passwd

[unix4linux]

:-\...yeah for some reason I have tried xchat, naim, pidgin and finch for IRC client and still can't run /oper. I continue to get "No such command". I can do /list /whois etc but not oper and not rehash either :-\

there must be something in the config file....if I find it...i'll def let you guys know but this is the first time I am setting up an IRC so it is quite a challenge

How about trying /quote oper or /raw oper depending on the client.

If neither work then youre either using a modified copy of UnrealIRCd, or you need to download and recompile from scratch again. Since /oper is a default core command in UnrealIRCd and is most certainly there in the official downloads.

[unix4linux]

that didn't work...looks like i'll have to recompile from scratch...it's no biggie, i'll just save my .conf file so it shouldn't be a big deal

I'll let you guys know if recompile helps

[unix4linux]

Small discovery...to run rehash, I had to use the following command on my xterm in linux:

./unreal rehash

Trying to see if there is some other way of using the oper command

Will let you guys know

Please don't tell me you were trying to do everything from the terminal... All those commands giving were meant to be used on an IRC client...

I did use them on an IRC client. Nothing worked. So, upon some digging on my server, I found the unreal binary and ran it..the usage suggested start|stop|restart|rehash so I tried rehash with it. This was the only thing I ran from the terminal...everything else was tried from the client

So, let me get this straight. Opering up by /oper <username> <password> (without the < and >) won't work? If that doesn't work, I wouldn't know any solution left for this issue..
