10
11Our last downtime was for a couple hours to install a new HD and update to
12RH 6.1 on 12/24/1999
13
14Our last downtime before that was 4 months ago when we had to bring the
15server offline while the generator that's part of our provider's UPS was
16being upgraded.
17
18Our box went up in August of 1999.
19
20Our previous Linux box at an older provider had no downtime related to
21server problems, it was our connectivity provider that was the problem.
22
23Currently we're the only box on a T1 line.

32We also have sendmail running, but in an SMTP-only configuration (keeps
33people from abusing the server).
34(An occasional Q2/Q3/UT server which hasn't affected connectivity at all, as
35the game server goes up for only short periods and doesn't advertise at

87
88I simply took out the 19 and changed the formatting to %04d, then added
891900 to the year. I'm guessing this is going to affect a lot of people using
90services who are using dalnet-compatable ircds. I wrote a little patch
91yesterday for some server admins who wanted to fix the bug without
92messing in their source code.
93You can find it and instructions on applying it at

107Hi Guys, I know I am going to be killed for this, but I have the following
108problem
109compiling Dreamforge 4.6.7
110
111The following problem i get on Suse6.2 (which runs glibc 2.1). From what I can
112tell, glibc causes this problem. I was wondering if anyone has any patches,
113or has had success getting df467 to compile

156Once Again, I know this doesnt belong on this list, but I are kinda
157desperate, and according to dalnet-src , the old df467 is no longer being
158maintained or supported

182
183 It looks like your system includes define "myncmp", which Dreamforge
184wants to use itself. The easiest solution would be to edit userload.c and
185bracket the #include for string.h with #define's to hide the system
186function:
187
188#define myncmp _builtin_myncmp
189#include <string.h>
190#undef myncmp
191
192 Good luck.

217<rant>
218 Is it just me, or is this so completely braindead it's not even funny?
219Even assuming this is left over from the original ircd, that's still
220post-1990 code, and it would have taken some major guts (or stupidity) to
221assume that that code would no longer be in use by 2000. It doesn't even
222take any extra effort to write "%04d" and "lt->tm_year+1900" instead.
223
224 _This_ is why programming should be left to experts.

252Before you compile it look for a y2k patch for it. DF467 will have some
253bugs without it ;-) e.g.:

866I personally do not see a problem with someone posting questions when they
867run into problems compiling but please if you are going to respond to a
868message could you at least follow proper posting procedures and only copy
869the message parts which you want to respond to? We all receive the first
870message so there is no need to resend the entire text.
871
872As an example:
873
874<SNIP>
875/usr/i486-linux/bin/ld: cannot open -lbsd: No such file or directory
876collect2: ld returned 1 exit statusmake: *** [services] Error 1
877</SNIP>
878This appears to be stating that you are missing some compile variables on
879your system you might want to search to see if that file is missing or not.

906
907Actually, it's stating that they are missing libbsd. Most likely the
908problem is somehow they got it configured for bsd instead of linux, since
909I don't know of any libbsd for linux. Re-running ./configure might be a
910good idea... might need to empty config.cache too.

971Just a question/comment/suggestion for the coding team. Wouldn't it be an
972idea to make a backup link or 2 in the services.conf for if a server goes
973down it can try to link to another one like ircd's do. I mean for smaller
974shell networks servers come up and down or lag, so i think it would be a big
975benifit.

1002Thanks, this worked. I had re-run the configure script, but I didnt remove
1003the config.cache. Once I removed it , it compiled just dandy.
1004
1005BTW - wasnt there mention of another list for ircd based stuff. I'm sorry to
1006have spammed you guys, but dalnet dont support it anymore, and i reconed
1007that the chaps
1008that WOULD know would be the chaps on this list. I was right, and my problem

1032Services really should be connected to an ircd on the same box as itself. If
1033this ircd looses connectivity to the outside world for some reason, there is
1034little chance Services is going to succeed.

1078I agree, but for one reason or another that ircd may shutdown or something,
1079i've seen it happen. And the services don't have a place to link back to. Or
1080someone has a shell that only allows 1 proccess and they wish to use it for
1081the services and it can only connect to 1 server. if that server dies, the
1082network is basically SOL until the person can manually move services or that

1217I don't think everyone is understanding the situation presented here. Say you have Services running on server A. Services links to server B, not an ircd on the same box (A). Server B crashes. Now Services are no where because the .conf file only has one server (B) to link to. This is correctable if a person with access to server A is around to edit the .conf file, but the situation is that, that person is not around. So the asked for solution is to have multiple S:lines in the .conf file that Services would attempt to link to in the event the primary is down. Setting up a crontab to restart the ircd on server B is moot because server B is dead. This is what I gathered from Angel's emails. Correct me if I'm wrong.

1255I'm reffering if they are on DIFFERENT boxes for some reason. Are if
1256something were jsut to effect it, it was just an idea. And crontab won't

1359Its fairly easy to define a number of switches which channel founders
1360could use to control kick usage.
1361
1362- enabled or not
1363- anonymous or kicker in the kick reason
1364- etc.
1365
1366Personally, I found anonymous kicks (such as when I use a bot) quite
1367useful, provided all the channel ops are mature and responsible. Sure,
1368its easy enough to just ignore someone you've kicked for bad behaviour or
1369whatever, but its useful to have a non-person to be the recipient of bad
1370vibes :)

1667I only see one problem with this round-robin effect for services. The
1668current coding has services shut back down if there is an error where it is
1669unable to connect to the specified server. Now if services somehow hits the
1670ip address on this round-robin which is down then it will shut down and wait
1671to retry until the next cron job. Which depending on the Admin who set this
1672situation up could be anywhere from 5-30 minutes.

1709
1710>From the Services Documentation:
1711
1712 Normally, Services can be run simply by invoking the "services"
1713executable. Services will then use the defaults specified in the
1714services.conf file, and connect to the specified uplink server.
1715Alternatively, any of the following command-line options can be specified
1716to change the default values:
1717
1718 -remote server[:port] Connect to the specified server
1719 -local host -or- Connect from the specified address (e.g.
1720 [host]:[port] for multihomed servers)
1721 -name servername Our server name (e.g. services.some.net)
1722 -desc string Description of us (e.g. SomeNet Services)
1723 -user username Username for Services' nicks (e.g. services)
1724 -host hostname Hostname for Services' nicks (e.g. esper.net)
1725 -dir directory Directory containing Services' data files
1726 (e.g. /usr/local/lib/services)
1727 -log filename Services log filename (e.g. services.log)
1728 -update secs How often to update databases (in seconds)
1729 -expire secs How often to check for nick/channel
1730 expiration (in seconds)
1731
1732---
1733
1734Now with an rather interesting sh / bash script, you will be able to ping
1735or traceroute the server to where your services are supposed to link to
1736(most shell providers allow the use of ping). From the output, you can
1737easily grep the ping statistics...
1738
1739>From standard Linux (output returned by ping might vary from OS to OS),
1740issuing something like the command below, will give you an good idea of the
1741current network performance to any remote server where services could or
1742shoud be linking to...
1743
1744 ping -c 50 <host name> | grep received | cut -c 43-70
1745 0% packet loss
1746
1747>From the ammount of packet loss returned, you can then reliably decide
1748where to link to, or what other actions to take. (Hence if you have the
1749access, you can even change routing tables - would it be neccessary).
1750
1751Should 100% packet loss be returned, that would obviously mean the server
1752is dead, now you can re-invoke services with the -remote parameter, linking
1753your services to the server specified.
1754
1755The matter of C/N lines in this case, would depend on the remote server

1758Mind you, this type of configuration can even be used to "re-route"
1759services should lag become an problem.

1787 You don't have to use cron. You can have a script like:
1788
1789while /bin/true; do
1790 ./services -nofork
1791done
1792
1793or make it as complex as you like. This way services will restart
1794immediately after dying.

1810This diff file will allow the use of the SIDENTIFY command, a synonym for
1811IDENTIFY. One some servers, cyclone for one, if you connect with a Password

1827Of course if you are running a variant of DreamForge 4.6.7 it already has
1828that as part of the coding. So far I haven't found any server variant of
1829this dreamforge code to not still have that coded into the server. But I
1830don't go to far into looking at the systems. The best way to check if a
1831server already has this is to type /server servername password if once you
1832have logged into the network you get a message from nickserv saying that you
1833are not identified for your nick then its already there. If not you will
1834get a message stating you cannot re-register.

1852 Uhm... perhaps you should have looked at the patch first. The
1853patch is to be applied against Services, not DreamForge... in order to
1854take advantage of a DreamForge feature.

1889Please don't post patches to this list - it is a discussion and support
1890list - not a coding list. If you really have the urge, join the
1891"ircservices-coding@" list (in the same way you joined this one). Then
1892again, it's for Services, rather than ircd's. And even there, patches are
1893not welcome on the list itself. Rather mail the address of the patch.
1894
1895Thanks, Andrew

1929Hy

1931I'm running IRCDu 2.10.07 and i'm trying to make IRCServices work with

1935Well. I have edited the makefile, and compiled the IRCServices. When
1936the IRCServi ces run (./services)), everything appears to be ok. The
