and what exactly are you typing to oper?

I have the same problem, also have the same configuration.
I used "/oper username password" to try and opper upon which te server replys with "No O-lines for your host"

using the forums as a last resort cause its praticly imposible to get into the support irc, why all the wories about people asking questions in there. If some one qualifys to get voice they cant posibly have any problems with unreal.

ill just ad the O:line config here in case

Code: Select all

oper admin 
	{
			class           clients;
		from 
		{
			userhost *@* ;
		};
		password "password";
		flags
		{
			netadmin;
			can_zline;
			can_gzline;
			can_gkline;
			global;
		};
	};

The reason he asked you exactly what you typed was to compare what you typed with the oper block you pasted, so it doesnt help when you change what you type to say "user" and "password" instead of what you did actually type

The "exam" to get voice in that channel isnt there to see if you know everything about UnrealIRCd, it's there to see if you have actually read the documentation and FAQ's. Basically they dont want people coming in there and asking questions already covered in the documentation.

Stealth's FAQ - Why is there a quiz to get support? says:
"We require people to take a quiz for a few reasons. The quiz is there to gather information about your set up for us, as well as qualify you for support. We understand most help channels will help anyone who happens to stumble in, but we're here to provide a higher level of support to the users. In order to provide a higher level of support to our users, we require they have read the docs, FAQ, and have a basic understanding of their operating system and networking. Since these are required, we can then offer full solutions to problems without the "RTFM" and "Google it" parts."

ok so id tye "/oper admin password" im awar that the username and password you type would need to match what is put in the config file.
However unlike the origial poster id rather not put actual usernames and password up in a publicy accesable board, hence the chane apoligys for the inconsistancy.

I understand that the reason behinf the quiz just its level would keep make it unable for most people to enter ok im not to computer savy with only a bachelor in computer networking but i could imagen that there are quite a few people who happen to be less knoligable. I read the documentation which in its own is quite a feed cause the little bits that you want to know arnt there to be found.
(And on a personal note i could imagen that it would tick some one of who is already having a problem to get banned from the place he could get help because of failing the quiz, and thus never being able to get help thru the irc. Working in IT i can relate to users not reading or just ignoring instruction compleatly. But when im asked where the paper needs to go i dont askthem how the incjet works, I bite my tounge for a sec and tel them where the paper goes withoud labeling them.)

Ill grant you my linux knolige isnt that good but for running an irc server it makes more sence to use a linux (in my case centos) platform insted of windows.

thank you for your replys, however apart from the quiz and that i typed username indead of admin in my post here (as put in the configuration example) i still have no idea why its not working?
I have tryed stopping and restarting unreal, double checkt the config and then even restarted the entire manchine. But it keeps on saying "No O-lines for your host". Given that the username and password in the config and oper command match it would be the hostmask, but *@* should allow any one from any ip (or hostname) to oper themselfs using that username and password.
