IRCrazy · Post by **IRCrazy** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 6:15 pm

the other day I was checking stats S on my server ,and there was this option
netadmins-are-gods: 0

I dont know what it does..can you please tell me about it..and what exactly does it benefit to the network administrators..and how it is different from the netadmins.c module that prevents lower ranked ircops from killing net admins.. thanks a lot

Jason@diamond ~/IRC/Unreal3.2$ grep -iR -- 'netadmins-are-gods' *
Jason@diamond ~/IRC/Unreal3.2$

That isnt in my copy of unreal. Is yours modified?

What modules are you running?

following are the loaded modules

netadmins
joinpartsno
commandsno
chansno

i guess netadmins(only netadmins can kill netadmins) might have added that option..

In which case, asking the person who wrote said module would be a good idea. Unless there is already documentation on that module. Which means that you should leave said coder alone. Unless it isn't in the documentation. Unless...

(Wow, I get carried away sometimes.)

Looking at the comments in the source for the netadmins module i came accross this:

* Optionally, you can set some options to specify how the module
* should work. The configuration looks like this:
*
* set {
* // Choose "no" here if you would like to allow
* // netadmins to kill each other. Otherwise "yes".
* netadmins-are-gods yes;
* };

when i set "netadmins-are-gods yes;" i can't kill my fellow net-admins, and when i set "netadmins-are-gods no;" i can kill other net-admins too. I guess thats what the module is about.

By the way, can anyone change the code so that all ircops can't kill each other. According to this module, ircops are not allowed to /gline /kill /zline etc. a net-admins. So can anyone change this code so that this module will be restricted to all ircops.

Thanks.

If you dont trust your IRCops not to kill each other why did you give them an O:Line in the first place?

This is a VERY bad thing.

If your oper tries to kill another oper, either 1) they are a bad oper, or 2) they have a damn good reason.

If 2, it should be allowed.

If 1, wouldnt you rather find out now so you can delete them, instead of waiting for them to gline everyone on your network?

As for everyone getting G:Lined on your network by a bad IRCop any server Admin can easily add an except tkl block to their config for their own IP to un G:Line everyone. Although everyone getting G:Lined doesnt do any good for your network it can still be gotten around.

Also the server Admins will be able to look at their server logs to see which oper did it and remove their O:Line. Although that may take a bit of investigating. To follow nick changes though can be difficult unless logged somehow.

Not to mention, an except tkl (combined with except ban) will also work if oper X bans oper Y when oper Y is offline, especially since this may happen unintentional.
