Hi

Well i have Unrealircd running with anope services too with no problem and have been asked to link two servers together so i thought it would be the same as services link, so before i try this could you please confirm that its right thanks

server one conf

link services.mydns.com
{
username *;
hostname 192.168.x.x;
bind-ip *;
port 6668;
hub *;
password-connect "mypass";
password-receive "mypass";
class servers;
options {
autoconnect;
};
};

link 80.7.113.209 <--- or should that be there dns name?
{
username *;
hostname 80.7.113.209;
bind-ip *;
port 4000;
leaf *;
password-connect "connectpass";
password-receive "connectpass";
class servers;
options {
autoconnect;
zip;
ssl;
};

server 2 conf

link serverone.dns.com <------or should that be ip?
{
username *;
hostname 217.44.249.49;
bind-ip *;
port 4011;
hub *;
password-connect "samepassasserverone";
password-receive "samepassasserverone";
class servers;
options {
autoconnect;
zip;
ssl;
};

will server two also need the services link too?

Btw i did read the sticky on linking servers

but would like to confirm that ive not misunderstood it

Thanks for the help

Use the real name of the server, not the IP
Add autoconnect only on one side

And about your services link block:

Don't use autoconnect
I really hope you didn't set up a real DNS entry for your services server... better use a fantasy name (see http://www.vulnscan.org/UnrealIRCd/unre ... l#security )

The second server doesn't need a link block (but an uline) to your services.

can you post your current link blocks as that is where the problem currently lies?

server 2

link 217.44.249.49
{
username *;
hostname 217.44.249.49;
bind-ip *;
port 4011;
hub *;
password-connect "pass";
password-receive "pass";
class servers;
options {
zip;
ssl;
};

Server 1

link 80.7.113.209
{
username *;
hostname 80.7.113.209;
bind-ip *;
port 4000;
leaf *;
password-connect "pass";
password-receive "pass";
class servers;
options {
autoconnect;
zip;
ssl;
};

now were getting errors like :

Notice -- Connection to 217.44.249.49[217.44.249.49] activated.
***: LocOps -- Link denied for irc.server1.com([email protected]) (No link block named 'irc.server1.com') [@217.44.249.49.62489]

and server 1 is giving

*** LocOps -- ERROR :from 80.7.113.209 -- Closing Link: [217.44.249.49] (Link denied (No matching link configuration))
* *** LocOps -- Server 80.7.113.209 closed the connection

if it helps thats a win server (2)
server 1 is Linux

I also changed the network block of server 2 to its own dns and restarted the servers still getting same errors

try this...

Code: Select all

server 2

link server1.com
{ 
username *; 
hostname 217.44.249.49; 
bind-ip *; 
port 4011; 
hub *; 
password-connect "pass"; 
password-receive "pass"; 
class servers; 
options { 
zip; 
ssl; 
}; 


Server 1 

link server2.com
{ 
username *; 
hostname 80.7.113.209; 
bind-ip *; 
port 4000; 
leaf *; 
password-connect "pass"; 
password-receive "pass"; 
class servers; 
options { 
autoconnect; 
zip; 
ssl; 
};

Make sure you rehash BOTH servers before attempting to connect. I would do and rehash server 2 first (as it does not have the autoconnect)

Just noticed an additional problem in the set block

Code: Select all

/* Network configuration */ 
set { 
network-name "irc.server1.com"; 
default-server "server1.com";  <--- set it to an actual server rather then the network
services-server "services.server1.com"; 
stats-server "stats.server1.com"; 
help-channel "#help"; 
hiddenhost-prefix "private"; 
/* prefix-quit "no"; */
