Any ircd experts around?
 

We have ircd installed on a server and it runs fine. But we can't figure out how to configure it so it allows more than 1 person from the same IP to login.

Keep getting the following error when the second person on the same IP trys to login.....

*** to many host connections (local) ***

What needs to be changed in ircd.conf to allow several client connections from the same IP?

bump :)

I have never setup my own IRCD server but I just tracked down the docs and found the relevant part..

"Y:class id:ping frequency:connect frequency:max connections:max sendq

The Y-line defines a connection class. The class id is a number that identifies the class, and is used in I-lines and C/N-lines to identify which Y-line to use. The ping frequency is the time (in seconds) between ping requests (to verify that the connection is still alive). Connect frequency is the time between automatic connection attempts for server connections (should be zero for client connection classes). Max connections is self explanatory. The "sendq" is the amount of data (in bytes) that is allowed to be pending going out to a connection in that class before the server will close it (with a message such as "Sendq exceeded").
On the 2.9.x versions of ircd, the connect frequency is replaced with an identifier to handle cloning. If it is a positive number, it identifies how many clients can connect from the same hostmask. If negative, it identifies how many clients can connect from the same username@hostmask.

I would recommend reading the example.conf file in the ircd distribution. It has samples of most of these, as well as descriptions that are probably better than mine."

(you make this change in the ircd.conf file..)

EviLGuY,

Thanks for the reply. I thought it was the Y record also. I increased max connections and it still did not work.

Hmmmmmm......
