Package: ircd-hybrid Version: 1:8.0.9.dfsg.1-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
There are several issues with configuring ircd-hybrid in the new ver 8 release. As packaged, in /etc/ircd-hybrid/ircd.conf there is an error on line 108: max_topic_length = 350 This should read: max_topic_length = 300; Range is 80 to 300, and it's missing the semicolon, which produces the error: [2013-06-13T17:40:16-0400] "/etc/ircd-hybrid/ircd.conf", line 109: syntax error: }; Provide /etc/ircd-hybrid/kline.conf and dline.conf files to avoid errors: [2013-06-13T17:40:16-0400] Unable to read configuration file '/etc/ircd-hybrid/kline.conf': No such file or directory [2013-06-13T17:40:16-0400] Unable to read configuration file '/etc/ircd-hybrid/dline.conf': No such file or directory Password for operator is not recognized when using the system mkpasswd. There is no other "provided mkpasswd tool" as commented in ircd.conf (tried /usr/bin/mkpasswd with no option and with md5, but the password hash it produces is apparently not compatible). The help file /usr/share/ircd-hybrid/help/opers/mkpasswd is also missing from this version. Having /oper privileges on your own irc server is obviously a pressing issue. If this cannot be fixed, the package cannot be safely deployed and maintained. Not sure what is wrong with this: [2013-06-13T17:40:16-0400] "/etc/ircd-hybrid/ircd.conf", line 117: syntax error: email = "<root@localhost>"; Error persists even when changing the localhost address to a valid domain value.
