IRCD-hybrid help reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jmukes97 · 2017-02-13 18:10 I'm not sure if this is the place to post this but here goes. I am trying to set up a basic irc server using ircd-hybrid with Debian Linux. Everything went well, but the problem is when a user wants to creates a channel they are operators of that channel. I can become operator of the server but not in a chat room that wasn't created by me. I searched around and found this http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/63816/become-operator-on-all- channels-ircd-hybrid After following those instructions I got an error saying that I couldn't become operator of the channel because it wasn't operatorless. Is there anything I can do to get around this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- machrider · 2017-02-14 04:34 I used to use hybrid and eventually switched to inspircd, which I think is better (though I forget why). In inspircd you can just load the server-mode module: /quote loadmodule m_samode.so and then if you're an IRC oper, you can say /quote samode #channel +o nick Probably not exactly the answer you were looking for, but if you switch to inspircd, there you go. ;) This is particularly useful for fixing channel modes where the operators fell off. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Saber_UK · 2017-02-14 09:57 InspIRCd developer here. With InspIRCd you can just load m_operprefix which automatically grants a high-ranking status (higher than op) to all server operators when they join. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Saber_UK · 2017-02-14 09:57 I don't think that this is possible with ircd-hybrid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- liquoranwhores · 2017-02-14 12:42 Use Unreal ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jmukes97 · 2017-02-14 16:20 Thanks for all the answers I'll look into other alternatives
