EFnet IRC Network Forum

I have problem login as operator for the different services:

/msg chanserv ologin boris <passwd>

I have succeeded to register a user, but due to the above problem I can't create channels.

I an using the ircd-ratbox 3.0.6 and ratbox-services 1.2.4 running on Ubunto linux 2.6.32-27-server ,
conftest report no errors and logs don't say anything out of ordinary. If I understand it right the
operator shuld be configured in the ratbox-services.conf file in the oper section:

operator "boris" {
/* user: specifies a user@host who may connect.
* multiple may be specified, wildcards are accepted.
*/
user = "boris@*";
password = "password";
encrypted = no;

/* the rest of this section is according to the suplied example.conf
*/
}

The error message I get from the IRC-client is:
/msg chanserv ologin boris password
No access to CHANSERV::OLOGIN

Does anybody have a clue?

I really wanted to upload the full configuration files for both the ircd and services, but the efnet forum gui complains about the filename extension. I have tried .conf .txt and non at all, with out success. Please let me know what extensions are allowed or your mail address and I send it to you by mail.

i wasn't aware we allowed file uploads


i'm not very familiar with ratbox services. doesn't it use it's own user database separate from ircd.conf? ratbox-services is anfl's pet project, as far as i know

You need to /oper up first using the credentials you specified in ircd.conf. When you have done that, OLOGIN should work.

In the future, visit us on #ratbox for support with ircd-ratbox and ratbox-services.
