Few Questions

footballkid4 · Post by **footballkid4** » Sat Dec 31, 2005 1:06 am

This is my first attempt at creating an IRC server, so don't get too angry with me for being a nub

.

First, when I do a /whois, it shows the following:
Footballkid4 is connecting from *@*myip*.hsd1.ca.comcast.net *myip*
Footballkid4 is a registered nick
Footballkid4 on *channels*
Footballkid4 is using GOL-IRC.com Guild of Legends IRC
Footballkid4 is a Network Administrator
Footballkid4 is available for help.
Footballkid4 has been idle 3mins 34secs, signed on Sat 31 Dec 00:58:38
Footballkid4 End of /WHOIS list.

Basically what I want to do is change that "Footballkid4 is connecting from...instead of showing my IP, I want it to show a sequence of numbers or something as an identifier, so IP's are never shown to anyone...

Second, when someone uses an /oper command, how can I have it so they are auto-oped in every channel they join? Do I have to add a uline for that?

Third, what is the syntax for the restart and die commands? =\

Sorry, these are stupid questions and they are probably in the manuals/docs but I can't find it...

Real IP's are only shown to opers and users when they whois themselves. If you want to hide it, use umode +x. If you don't like what +x does, learn to make your own cloaking module.
That can be done with services, but is never suggested (oper abuse)... Opers can have op access to every channel with the can_override flag, but again, that creates the possibility of abuse, and is not recommended.
Code: Select all
```
restart <passwd>
```
Code: Select all
```
die <passwd>
```

Thanks for the quick reply. As for the die/restart, when I tried the /restart pass, Unreal gave an error, that's why I came to ask...

Thx a lot =). Really helps me get this up and running.

What would the error be?

Quoted from the error message:

Usage: wircd [-h servername] [-p portnumber] [-x loglevel]

Then, I click ok and it says:

UnrealIRCD has failed to initialize in InitwIRCD()

Then UIRCD closes...

uhm, what command did you enter?

die and restart are commands you use in your irc client (as an oper), not on the command line...

footballkid4 · Post by **footballkid4** » Sun Jan 01, 2006 5:48 pm

I know that, and I did enter them in my IRC client, and UIRCD came up with that error...

winxp
winxpsp2
wircd dont initialize, as the quoted message says...
but since this hasnt been reported before, Im assuming that could be
another problem, Ill try in other PCs and different win versions..
am not good at reporting bugs though...
saludos

Uhhh, my bad, in WIn2kSP4, didn't initialize too, same message.

Errors's screenshots are here (WinXPSP2) ->

To be more descriptive I must have MSVC for debugging and I dont have it. So, could anyone please make a detailed debug of this? And make a http://bugs.unrealircd.org report of course.

It doesn't matter if you have MSVC or not, please make the bug report, and someone will look into it.

Be as descriptive as you can, be sure to watch the bug report if someone has questions. Include the screenshots

I am now locking this for 2 reasons: 1) it has gone way off subject; 2) MAKE THE BUG REPORT ALREADY.
