Subject: Linode 43219/ alsach.at : SID probleme running IRC chat server

Hi

I tried to install IRC Server for a group work. IRCD

https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/servergui … erver.html">https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/irc-server.html

All was ok but when startded

I had following message

jp@li89-190:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/ircd-irc2 restart

*Restarting irc server daemon: ircdFatal Error: Invalid sid specified in

ircd.conf*

I need informatioabout the SID and location I have to use from

our domain.

PArametrization in my ircd.conf

M: [MANDATORY]. This line sets your server's name, description and port

the server listens for UDP pings (used to determine the fastest link in a

class when autoconnecting)

#

M::::::

#

Note that 'server name' refers to the name of the irc-server which needs

not to be the same as the hostname of the machine it's running on.

Note that must be globally unique, so if you are part of bigger

network, ask other admins, what to set it to. If you are on IRCnet, ask

your local coord. If you are (BIC) Coord on IRCnet, you have a pool of

36 SIDs to choose from. Check doc/ISO-3166-1 file to find your country

numeric code (example: 000) and assign one SID for every of your servers

starting from 000A, through 000Z, 0000 and ending at 0009.

This let's ircd use the primary ip of your host to establish connections

This let's ircd use the ip 127.0.0.2 to establish connections, useful

if you're running virtual interfaces

Can you tell me more about the SID parameter I should use on my server?

The problem isn't the SID value; it's the missing IP address after the hostname
