You have to specify a ServicesRoot in your services.conf file... I'm sure it's mentioned in the example.conf...

from example.conf

Code: Select all

# ServicesRoot <nicks>  [REQUIRED]
#    Specifies the Services "super-users".  The super-users, or "roots" as in
#    Unix terminology, are the only users who can add or delete Services
#    admins.
#
#    You can specify more than one nick by separating each one by a space.
#
#    This is commented out by default; make sure you insert the correct
#    nick before uncommenting it.

#ServicesRoot   "dengel anope"

catually... im running fat32, and the example.conf didnt exactly show me much at all,

Code: Select all

# Example configuration file for Services.  After making the appropriate
# changes to this file, place it in the Services data directory (as
# specified in the "configure" script, default /usr/local/lib/services)
# under the name "services.conf".

WEll /usr/local/lib/services doesnt help if your talking about this but i did find

Code: Select all

# ServicesRoot <nicks>  [REQUIRED]
#    Specifies the Services "super-users".  The super-users, or "roots" as in
#    Unix terminology, are the only users who can add or delete Services
#    admins.
#
#    You can specify more than one nick by separating each one by a space.
#
#    This is commented out by default; make sure you insert the correct
#    nick before uncommenting it.

ServicesRoot   "roots"

and its filled out from my point of view.. so im stumped...

Fat32 in linux or in ur pc ? whatever as u said bout fat32 so if its in win then u might do

# ServicesRoot <nicks> [REQUIRED]
# Specifies the Services "super-users". The super-users, or "roots" as in
# Unix terminology, are the only users who can add or delete Services
# admins.
#
# You can specify more than one nick by separating each one by a space.
#
# This is commented out by default; make sure you insert the correct
# nick before uncommenting it.

ServicesRoot "nick nick"

Just set one or two or as many as u want nicks in the line starts with " ServicesRoot " and dont forget to remove " # " which is in front of the ServicesRoot word .....

good luck ..

In case you are editing services.conf and other Linux files under Windows, it's worthy to use a viewer and an editor that actually supports UNIX character encoding, otherwise you really won't see much.
