  34 <PRE>Hi,
  35
  36 I just upgraded from 4.5.43 to 5.0.9 (at last!) for use with unreal 3.2b14
  37 and have so far been very pleased with the transition.  After a few days
  38 of use I've found a few unexpected pieces of behaviour which I'm confused
  39 about:
  40
  41 Firstly, on an /msg operserv shutdown, services SQUITs from the ircd - but
  42 then on almost all occasions the binary continues to run, and will not be
  43 killed by any signal short of a KILL (-9).
  44
  45 On a related note, /msg operserv restart normally fails in precisely the
  46 same manner - but on the one occasion that it came straight back up, all
  47 registered channels with a +k mode in their modelock had mysteriously lost
  48 their +k and key.  Which was a bit of a pain ;)
  49
  50 Moreover, whilst users in the channel access lists were correctly reopped
  51 on reidentifying on the server coming back up - in every channel a random
  52 user also acquired an @.  On being deopped, Chanserv once again enforced
  53 the secureops correctly and refused to let them be reopped. Almost all the
  54 channels have Options: Topic Retention, Secure Ops.  Even more
  55 disturbingly, not all users on the channel were able to see the @ that the
  56 mysteriously-opped user had acquired. (Either in the form of a channel
  57 mode +o event or similar).
  58
  59 Finally, in the WhatsNew for services v5, I was overjoyed to see:
  60
  61   + The Services stamp of the last user to identify for a nick is now
  62         recorded on disk, removing the necessity to re-identify when
  63         Services is restarted.
  64
  65 But so far, when /msg operserv restart works at all - everyone is forced
  66 to reidentify nonetheless (combined with the quirks listed above).  So I'm
  67 guessing that there's something going wrong here.
  68
  69 On a final possibly unrelated note, I've also been getting
  70
  71 [Mon Feb  3 23:23:24 2003] - select irc.theonering.net[127.0.0.1]:Bad file descriptor
  72
  73 error messages popping up in Unreal's ircd.log every 2-16 hours or so.
  74 As services is the only thing connected to a fd on 127.0.0.1, I'm
  75 wondering if there's a connection here to the above problem.
  76
  77 This is all happening on a dual PIII 1.26GHz box running Debian Woody with
  78 a 2.4.18 kernel; everything compiled with gcc 2.95.4 (unreal compiled with
  79 not default linux threads, fwiw).  It's all worked perfectly with
  80 IRCServices 4.3.x, 4.5.x coupled with df467 and unreal 3.1.x on precisely
  81 the same hardware.
  82
  83 Any help would be very much appreciated;
  84
  85 cheers,
  86
  87 A.
