That command doesn't work on this protocol

[elmonty]

I am trying to make myself the channel op, but I am unable to do so. I have tried the /op command, the /oper command, the mode command, but nothing is working. I believe I have the oper block set up correctly.

If I use the /op command, it says "You're not channel operator."

If I use /oper, it says "That command doesn't work on this protocol."

If I use /mode me +o, I get no response.

I've searched the FAQ, but am still stuck.

Try

Code: Select all

/mode #chan +o yournick

"You're not channel operator"

Can you explain to me what you are on the channel? (Are you oper, normal user, owner (services?))

[elmonty]

oper meXXX {

class clients;

from
{
userhost (meXXX@*);
};

password "XXXXXX";

flags
{
netadmin;
can_restart;
can_rehash;
can_override;
};
};

What client are you using?

[elmonty]

Pidgin 2.5.1

I think this has to do with this client that you're using and isn't a fault on Unreal's side. Please try it again with xChat (Linux) or with mIRC (windows). I'm quite confident it will work with one of those.

If I use /oper, it says "That command doesn't work on this protocol."

This is nothing to do with UnrealIRCd as it is NOT even an UnrealIRCd sent response.

If you want proof of that, try looking for the message in UnrealIRCd's source. I garuntee you will NOT find it.

That just means that Pidgin doesn't understand that command. Do: /raw oper <username> <password>.

I find that /quote oper etc usually works on vcarious clients, i've been able to oper, connect to bnc etc using that from my phones mirggi irc client
