ircd-hybrid operator configuration

  • 772

I've installed ircd-hybrid server on Ubuntu, configured it, and it's up and running.

I've configured my operator{} section in /etc/ircd-hybrid/ircd.conf, setting my name, user, and password. But I can't for the life of me grab /oper status on my server. Can someone please help me with very specific instructions that are working well for them? Thanks!

    I know exactly what you mean about this. I struggled to figure it out myself for several hours before I figured this out:

    operator {
    name = "root"; //Log in to oper with the name root
    user = "*@192.168.*.*";  //Allow oper from any username on the local network
    password = "YqvbpMDkkEhyY"; //hello encoded with /usr/bin/mkpasswd

    ...
};

    With that config, you would use oper like this:

    /oper (name) (password)
/oper root hello

    If you get:

    Only few of mere mortals may try to enter the twilight zone

    Check to make sure that you are using the right name in the /oper command and the user field is including your client.

    Also make sure you don't forget a semi-colon... It will not tell you, just give you the normal Password Incorrect response.
