| Summary | 0002401: TLD MOTD errors non-fatal | ||||
| Description | [error] unrealircd.conf:523: tld::motd: ircd.motd.fr: No such file or directory [error] unrealircd.conf:524: tld::rules: ircd.rules.fr: No such file or directory I see these 2 errors all the time in the support channel, and of course people ask what is wrong with Unreal and why wont it start. I think because these arent vital files, that the errors should be non-fatal errors. If the files are missing, Unreal should send "MOTD file is missing" to the clients connecting with these TLD's. | ||||

I disagree. The reason people get those errors is generally because they copied example.conf and never really even looked at it. Therefore, this error gives us a good diagnosis of who has read the docs and who hasn't. |

Might as well bring back the STOP directive, it would be more effective. |

I don't see any reason either to make it a warning if you specify you want to use a certain file for <whatever, motd in this case>. We don't do that for loadmodule/include/etc either (and rightfully so). |
