Hi all,
I have recently installed UnrealIRCd on my Centos 6.6 server for the use of a few of my friends and I. It's running 3.2.10.4 and listening on a non standard SSL port and one of my friends and I have been chatting on it.
The thing that concerns me is that I didn't set him up as a user, I just gave him the port and the server address and he connected, and he joined a channel which I also didn't create, so we could start chatting.
So my questions:
Firstly, how can I prevent un-authenticated users to connect and is there a way to stop channel creation?
Secondly I am the admin user but when I try and do things like Kick a user, it tells me I am not able to do so.
I would gratefully receive your advice as I find the documentation quite hard to follow.
Restricting UnrealIRCd to only allow specifically determined users
Re: Restricting UnrealIRCd to only allow specifically determined users
1. Password protect the connection: https://www.unrealircd.org/files/docs/u ... allowblock
2. This can be done using deny/alllow channel blocks: https://www.unrealircd.org/files/docs/u ... annelblock and https://www.unrealircd.org/files/docs/u ... annelblock respectively. Wildcards are accepted.
3. It's a common misconception that IRCOps "outrank" ChanOps. They have different access and functions but 1 doesn't "outrank" the other. Unreal allows for certain IRCops to override this difference though with Oper Overrides. https://www.unrealircd.org/files/docs/u ... lock_flags
Hope that helps.

Code: Select all
deny channel {
channel "*";
reason "only IRCops can create channels";
};
Code: Select all
allow channel {
channel "#Lobby";
};
Hope that helps.
