Is this ... logical?!

[joeh]

Hi everyone, maybe someone can enlighten me =P

I intially had in my unrealircd conf file this:

class clients
{
pingfreq 90;
maxclients 8000;
sendq 1000000;
connfreq 100;
};

class servers
{
pingfreq 90;
maxclients 500;
sendq 1000000;
connfreq 100;
};

which my anope service was being declined access everytime it wanted to connect I recieved this from UnrealIRCd "*** Notice -- Cancelling link [@127.0.0.1.35553], full class"

At that time my /stats P showed this:

*** Listener on irc.ultraanime.net:6670, clients 12. is PERM clientsonly
*** Listener on irc.ultraanime.net:6669, clients 62. is PERM clientsonly
*** Listener on irc.ultraanime.net:6668, clients 0. is PERM clientsonly
*** Listener on irc.ultraanime.net:6667, clients 281. is PERM clientsonly
*** Listener on irc.ultraanime.net:6665, clients 0. is PERM clientsonly
*** Listener on irc.ultraanime.net:6664, clients 0. is PERM clientsonly
*** Listener on irc.ultraanime.net:6663, clients 0. is PERM clientsonly
*** Listener on irc.ultraanime.net:6662, clients 0. is PERM clientsonly
*** Listener on irc.ultraanime.net:6661, clients 0. is PERM clientsonly
*** Listener on irc.ultraanime.net:6660, clients 0. is PERM clientsonly
*** Listener on irc.ultraanime.net:8016, clients 0. is PERM serversonly
*** Listener on irc.ultraanime.net:6697, clients 15. is PERM clientsonly SSL
*** Listener on irc.ultraanime.net:7001, clients 89. is PERM clientsonly SSL
*** Listener on irc.ultraanime.net:7000, clients 0. is PERM clientsonly

The only serversonly area had 0 servers connected!!!!!

Expected right from Services not being connected

Now this gets weirder.....

because it was declined access, I went back to UnrealIRCd.conf and edited this block

class servers
{
pingfreq 90;
maxclients 500;
sendq 1000000;
connfreq 100;
};

and changed it to

class servers
{
pingfreq 90;
maxclients 1000;
sendq 1000000;
connfreq 100;
};

Now, my services connected perfectly o.o!!!!!!

Now, what I don't understand is, does the maxclients in the servers class get effected on how many normal people (clients) are online?

Thanks for reading

You have 2 classes server and client . each has its own limit set in the conf . AFAIK one should not effect the other.

[joeh]

Thats what I initially believed, so I kicked everyone out, set maxclients on server to 10, and tested my theory, and services was able to connect regardless.

Im not sure if its my conf file, but I just recreated it 20 minutes ago, and im sure that it has no problems this time.. =o

Would it help to see it?

[Solutech]

you can pm it to me and I'll take a look if you want . My limits are set lower and I have no problems with my system . clients = 1024 and servers = 10 .
