Bug 59767 – unrealircd 3.2.1 does not accept --chuid as commandline parameter

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED INVALID

[Description Timo Maier 2004-08-08 07:12:13 UTC]

/etc/init.rd/unrealircd start won't start unrealircd 3.2.1 because it does not know about a --chuid parameter

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

The --chuid is an argument to start-stop-dameon, not to /usr/bin/unrealircd.
The paramters for /usr/bin/unrealircd follow the --.

Have you modified the UnrealIRCd config file at /etc/unrealircd/unrealircd.conf?
You need to do a few things to get UnrealIRCd working. You must set the
kline-address and the cloak-keys. And the tld block is invalid in the default
config file.

Yep, everything else seems to be ok, if I start unrealircd without this --chuid parameter.

[Comment 3 Sven Wegener 2004-08-08 07:53:28 UTC]

I just re-emerged net-irc/unrealircd and the --chuid option is fine there.
Just modify /etc/unrealircd/unrealircd.conf and the init script should bring
up unrealircd without problems.

Did you emerge version 3.2.1? (ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86)

I also didn't find any docs where this parameter is described.

[Comment 5 Sven Wegener 2004-08-08 08:16:32 UTC]

Yes, I merged 3.2.1. Could you remove the &>/dev/null redirection in your init
script and check if unrealircd displays an error message?

Thanks for the hint:

* Loading IRCd configuration ..
[error] Couldn't open "badwords.channel.conf": Permission denied
[error] Could not load config file badwords.channel.conf
[error] IRCd configuration failed to load                                           [ !! ]

A chown unrealircd bad* has fixed this. Again, thanks for you quick help.
