Restrict channel creation

Greetings,

I'm looking for an IRCD server that would let only Opers create channels.

Is it possible with Unreal ?.

Thank you!

Yes, there is a module called m_onlyopersjoin, which only allows Services and opers to create channels. Once the channel is created, and a user joins, the oper may op the user and part to allow the channel to be "Normal". You can use services to keep the channel open when everyone leaves, so the channel is not destoyed and users need to rely on an oper to re-open it.

You can find the module on Google, or just click HERE. Almost any result on the first page of that link will do, but the first one is the best (as it is the module right off the creators site).

Hi Stealth!

Thanks for answering, I downloaded Unreal, and edited the .conf, I swa there was a channel restriction directive, so I edited the 'warez' thing and replaced it with *.

Then on channel allow I added the only channel I would like to have on the IRC (A support channel).

It works perfectly!.

What's the difference between what I did and what you suggest?

Thanks!

The difference between that and what I suggested, is that only allows that one channel... What I suggested, allows users to request channels, and they can be created without being added to the conf.
