| Summary | 0003497: Unreal4 forced to run as the user ircd | ||||
| Description | Forcing a user to run the ircd as the username ircd doesn't seem very useful. I'd just prefer if it wasn't run as root. This posses problems that cannot create new users (shell users). | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Start unrealircd | ||||
| Additional Information | OS X is sex. | ||||

WARNING!!! You are not running the ircd as the ircdaemon user!!! YOU CAN NOT DO THIS!!! |
|
|
Yes, bad idea. Shell users won't be able to use the ircd, and there is no point really in requiring the ircd to run as that user, as long as its not root. |
|
|
Just disallow using the root user. I think InspIRCd has a last option command line option you can use to run as root, but it highly highly is not recommended. Forcing ircd user would just be a huge pain. |
|
|
For those who have not tested this under multiple accounts, Insp/U4 DO NOT require the account "ircd" or "ircdaemon". I run Insp from both "ircd" and "john" with no problem. It simply checks if UID = 0, which if it does it throws that error and fails to run. This is because it's VERY BAD to run it (or any public daemon) as root. |
|
|
Not on darwin by the looks at it. |
|
|
In speaking with BuildSmart, this is done because of the way OS X Server is designed. He would be the one to speak to about it as he designed most of the Darwin support in InspIRCd. |

|
I have submitted a patch that lets OSX users run the IRCd normally. Something to remember is that OS X does not have pkg-config installed by default, so installation of openssl/gnutls has to be setup manually otherwise the IRCd won't see it. Tested with: -Xcode 2.4.1 (8m190) -gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367) -Mac OS X 10.4.9 (8P2137) Output: * Unreal4.0-devel penguin.omega.org.za :Darwin andrews-computer.local 8.9.1 [FLAGS=0,kqueue,singlethread-object] Tiburon |
