Hello everyone.
I have a few questions about UnrealIRCd.
OK, I was wondering how I can fix this error:
MOTD File is missing
I get that error when I try to do /motd from my client (mIRC). Anyone have any clues?
Also - How can I make it say just the nickname and not
[email protected] ?
Im a very new Linux user, so please be explicit with your answers.
Thanks in advance!

Create a file named ircd.motd then do /rehash -motd

I place the file in my Unreal3.2 directory right? Well, I did that, then ran /Unreal3.2/unreal rehash -motd , and am getting the same error as before:

MOTD File is missing
I also tried restarting unreal, no go.
Any other ideas?

I didn't say do ./unreal rehash -motd, I said do /rehash -motd, as in a command on your server, not a command in your shell.

Aha. Sorry about that. *oops*
I tried to do that, it told me Permission Denied. So I checked my oper configuration, and now when I try /oper login *password* it tells me "No O-lines for your host."
I tried setting the hostname to *@* in the config file, but that did no good. How can I find out what hostname to put? o_O I also tried putting localhost and other things, but Im totally confused.
Sorry if i'm just asking completely newbie type questions, but ive been up and down the manuals and couldnt find anything, except what to set the flags to (I have global and netadmin set, btw)

Aha. Darn problem. Fixed. I just had to rehash unreal (wow im stupid =P) Now I am able to login as an oper and rehash the motd.
Thanks a lot. Does anyone know how to stop it from showing username!
[email protected] though?
Cheers,
Jeff

What you set to *@* is not a hostname, it's oper::from::userhost (a user@host mask, in other words). And *@* (or simply *) is quite right to allow access from everywhere. Perhaps you are having an other problem, not explicitly with your host, even if the message says that. See
question #35 in the official UnrealIRCd FAQ.

I found out my problem was that I was typing /oper
login username password
>_<; I forgot my syntax for /oper, hehe.
