help setting up ngIRCd? reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- real-baby-princess · 2019-05-26 19:43 hello so, i'm new to setting up IRC daemons, i opted to go for ngircd because its configuration is said be very simple, and was wondering if i could i please get some assistance with setting up ngIRCd? My IRC client is able to connect, but instantly gets Access Denied, after displaying a notice about my hostname. [here is my configuration](https://pastebin.com/DbHc8DHK), any help would be greatly appreciated greatly, if it makes any difference, my server is a FreeBSD jail. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SithToast · 2019-05-26 21:32 \# Let ngIRCd send an "authentication PING" when a new client connects,     \# and register this client only after receiving the corresponding     \# "PONG" reply.     RequireAuthPing = yes ​ Have you tried setting that to no? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- real-baby-princess · 2019-05-26 22:26 i have, same result ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TheBlueBusDude · 2019-05-27 12:51 I may be wrong, but I think it should be your local IP address on the Listen block. Instead of 0.0.0.0, you should include localhost or your IP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- real-baby-princess · 2019-05-27 15:39 Thanks, I’ll give that a look and let you know how it goes :) though it displays the notices, but I’ll give it another look when I get home ---------------------------------------------------------------------- real-baby-princess · 2019-06-10 14:03 sorry for the delay, i was moving ISP and got distracted doing other stuff. so i still get the same result with the IP address as well as [0.0.0.0](https://0.0.0.0), from looking at the example configuration for ngIRCd, it seems that [0.0.0.0](https://0.0.0.0) listens on all IP addresses. Still have the same issue though, i think ill start my config again, and see where it leads me this time ---------------------------------------------------------------------- real-baby-princess · 2019-06-22 10:45 update: i fixed it, turns out i had to make pam support optional for now, i will fix that later on but for now it's fine, thank you all for you're help
