Summary0002103: Remote MOTD issues...
DescriptionOk, we have a three server network. All three with MOTDs. /motd brings up the local MOTD fine, however, when requesting a remote MOTD (ie /motd boo.netronet.com from zap.netronet.com) gives a "[23:41:07] MOTD file is missing" error. This was working until a recent bout of netsplits. /rehash has been tried to death.
Steps To ReproduceIf you want to take a look, connect over on netronet.
3 servers:
boo.netronet.com
collective.netronet.com
zap.netronet.com

Thanks guys.

Note that remote motds use the ircd.motd file (so not the one from the tld { } blocks).

Would it be possilbe to make remote motds use the right tld {} stuffs? Or is that some local thing that gets set etc?

Possible? Yes
Would it be better? I don't know
I can imagine servers not wanting to show their MOTD (eg from a password protected hub) to remote/normal users, so if tld { } stuff would be done some extra option should be added.

Well first off, you can make tld blocks apply to remote users by doing #define TLINE_Remote.

Anyway though, since this has been reported before, I'm assuming it is indeed a bug. Unfortunately, I can't yet find anyway to reproduce it. Some more info would be helpful. Does boo have any tld {} blocks? If so, can you paste them? Does ircd.motd exist on boo? And any other info you can think of would be helpful as well.

Hm? I think this is just a typical issue of a missing ircd.motd file, and a tld *@* block using a file with another name (hence, locally no problem).
Ah well, we'll see indeed :p.

I can't seem to reproduce this either short of trying renaming ircd.motd on the remote server.

I think what's needed is a bit more info :) . Namely:
From the IRCd: /stats tld
From the shell: ls ircd.*, and ls *.*motd

No, all three servers have an "ircd.motd" - as far as I know. I'll make sure of this soon.

As for tld blocks, well, I don't think so either - I'll make sure, but unless someone's monkeyd around witht the configs since last I connected, it worked fine.

By the way, doesnt say, /motd boo.* send the motd request for boo to fulfil...?

Note also (I thought I mentioned it) that the problem happens 3 ways: zap.netronet.com, boo.netronet.com, collective.netronet.com are all affected.

I'm also doubtful of it being a config issue since nobody has modified any config files in the past month, at least...

Ok, I stand corrected. zap and boo both have tld blocks, and I presume non-standard motd files. The respective server admins will get back to me on this, hopefully in a day or so.

Collective however, has the standard ircd.motd setup, and it's motd still can't be viewed remotely.

an update on this bug. seems that even now (20050421, Unreal 3.2.3), remote MOTD checks don't work with tld{} blocks. even if I set options::remote.

I switched to doing this recently so that I could avoid having symlinks from the ircd.motd file (and friends) to where I actually put my MOTD files, which I keep synched through the use of rsync/ssh.

I only today was notified that remote MOTD checking wasn't working.

Bump. Is this still a valid bug?

insofar as this occurs:
09:23:42 -!- [hanashi.surrealchat.net] MOTD File is missing
and the MOTDs do work when you're on the local server, but not remote.

Fixed in 3.4-alpha5. The default is now to threat remote MOTD/RULES the same as local. Silly define is gone now.
