Help! Connection Failed (Password Mismatch)

Southy · Post by **Southy** » Thu Mar 03, 2005 11:42 pm

I just installed Unreal IRCD on a linux box. I got it to compile and to run fine with the unreal.config file that I created. Only whenever I go to connect to the server, it does this and says Password Mismatch. I have no idea what is the cause of this or how to fix it, any ideas?

*** Connect retry #2
*** Looking up your hostname...
*** Found your hostname (cached)
Closing Link: (Password mismatch)
*** Disconnected

Perhaps you should remove the password directive from the allow block...

... or specify aforementioned password when you connect. Whatever tickles your pickle.

I deleted the password and it worked. I guess I thought I needed it there for admin purposes or something, but say if I did...

How would connect to IRC using a password ?

/server irc.server.tld PASSWORD

Note that in quite some clients (eg: mIRC) you need to do something like:

Code: Select all

/server servername port password

(so add the port)
