oper questions
Posted: Fri May 28, 2004 8:28 pm
Setting up a server on Win2K just to understand some things. I'm not an IRC user so most of this is very new to me (I apologize for my ignorance).
When I sign into my chat client, I specify my name, nickname and password (not sure what the password is a user password or a server password).
When I connect my name is shown as dan![email protected]
I have setup an oper block with my name, but I don't understand how I get oper granted to me when I join an existing channel. I've have one official-channel in my config. I know an existing oper can grant me oper, but I thought there was a way that the system could grant oper rights to a particular person no matter what channel they're in. Thought that was the purpose of the oper block. But I can't find out how I grant this permission to myself when I log on. For instance, where do I enter the password defined in the oper block?
I took the example config and modified a bit. Here's the oper block:
Not sure what to use for userhost screen since I get the "cant resolve domain name" message when I connect, so I'm just accepting everything right now.

Code: Select all
oper dan {
from {
userhost *@*;
};
password "passme";
class clients;
flags
{
netadmin;
global;
};
