Fresh Unreal instalation - minor errors found

[Streak]

Hi

I installed a fresh unreal Server ( im a Novice BTW ) my problem is

Users cant connect without using a password ( i took out all the passwords from the unrealircd.conf file left them blank then no one can connect not even me, it says
Server ERROR: :Closing Link: Pieter[something.org] (Password mismatch

though i have no passwords , i want my users to conenct without using a password

Secondly i need 3 bots

1 to keep my channel running if im not there and gives voice on users conencting and such ( mainly for keeping Op)
2 need a bot for when users post on my forum it will place a message on irc that person has posted a message
3 need a bot to tell me that a new torrent file has been uploaded to the tracker

if anyone can help me with any of those Thank you

leaving them blank will still expect a password, try removing the password option from the allow block all together. Also be advised that allow blocks are read from bottom to top and users will be placed in the allow block that they match first so if you have a passworded allow block for address *@* at the bottom for example then all users will be expected to give a password.

Place your allow blocks in reverse order from most restrictive at the bottom to least restrictive at the top.

Please note I'm not referring to your Link blocks.

THank you in worked this is what i have done ( for people have same problems )

allow {
ip *@*;
hostname *@*;
class clients;
maxperip 5;
};

/* Passworded allow line */
allow {
ip *@*;
hostname *@*;
class clients;
maxperip 5;
};

/*
Taken out
password "password"; < ------------

Re:bots

1. The entire purpose of chanserv is to op those you give permission to so you don't need a "keep ops bot". So by needing such a bot you are underminding the entire existance if chanserv.

2. Good luck.

3. Easier to do than #2, but my morals prevent me from telling you how, sorry.
