standard IRC server numeric responses?

Post by JerryH »

Hi,

Just installed Unreadircd 5.0.6 on a Windows 10 pro machine, and have the following question(s):

I successfully connected via xchat from my linux machine, but when I attempt to try my own rudimentary Python written client, I get stuck in a loop and time out.
The client is connecting, but waiting for a response from the server (Unrealircd) that contains the 376 (END of MOTD) message defined by the IRC protocol, but have not seen it come across. I did create an MOTD file via the GUI configuration and rehashed all files.

When I connect, I get the following response from Unrealircd (5.0.6)

Code: Select all

:<myservername> NOTICE * :*** Looking up your hostname...
:<myservername> NOTICE * :*** Found your hostname (cached)
No MOTD, hence no 376 message that is /MOTD

Since I don't ever see the 376 message, I never send my nickname to register, and as a result I time out with this message:

Code: Select all

ERROR :Closing Link: [70.130.78.158] (Registration Timeout)
Is there something I'm missing from my configuration? I'm using the default conf/unrealircd.conf file with my values. There is probably too much information in the file, but I chose not to delete anything, just comment out the initial values for the what I want to change and added my unique lines.
I've looked through the FAQ, but haven't found anything. I made the assumption that the MOTD would print if it was created.

Please note that this client works correctly when connecting to irc.freenode.net

Additional information:
mIRC and xchat2 see the MOTD and additional responses from the Unrealircd server.
My Python client is reading on the connected socket, reads the first two messages (above) and then reads nothing else.
xchat2 sees

Code: Select all

Do I need to login in with my /nick before getting the additional messages?
