Is there a way...

(UnrealIRCd Question)

Is there any feasible way to change a user's nickname, operflags, or SNOMASKs other than a U:Line?

For whatever reason, OperServ doesn't want to work properly when we try to use it to do that stuff, and I've given up on fixing it (I believe I already posted here about that problem), plus it's not exactly the most ethical thing to have to put a 5m SHUN on people just for their nicknames. I'm using anope-1.5.10-r5 for Unreal 3.1.1 or later if you want to try to figure that one out.

Let me get this straight .. you think it's unethical to SHUN someone .. but not unethical to force a nick change?

Operflags and SNOMASKS are controlled in the operblock.

Well, it's less ethical and an not neccessary for such a simple thing as a bad nick, plus it prevents them from communicating with us and users less knowledgeable about IRC will usually email us about them not being able to do anything etc etc and it would be handier, too, if the user does not change his nick upon our request, for us to at least have the ability.

And I know about SNOMASKs and operflags in the oper block, but I'm talking about, say, giving someone the temporary ability to set user mode +Q without having to change the IRCd and rehash the server. I've tried connecting to my U:Line server and doing

//raw svsnick TEST TEST_2 $ctime

but nothing happens.

There's got to be something that can do it for you other than OperServ, because I've tried 3 services packs and it doesn't work on any of them. Yes, I've checked that the services packs were compatible with my IRCd and all that good stuff; all the other functions of OperServ work except those that send commands through the U:Line.

I'm not talking about the OperServ raw command, I'm talking about using the mIRC raw command, equivilant to the quote command in most other clilents. And here is the helpop info for SVSNICK:

Did you miss the part where it says "Must be sent through an U:Lined Server" .... as in Services?

That means that you *HAVE* to use OperServ.

I have Root access to services and it supports the RAW command, as well as the SVSNICK command. Here's what it looks like:

You can manipulate snomasks with SVS2SNO. I fail to see any relation between SVSNICK and manipulating a users snomasks. It don't make a difference what nick the user is using. They are not related at all.

Basiclly the user TEST can have the same snomasks as TEST_2. Just like /oper'ing, my O:Line may say my user name is katsklaw but I don't have to have the nick of katsklaw to successfully oper. All that username does is acts as a 2 password access. IE: /oper JoeBlow SecretPassWd. I can use the nick katsklaw and still oper to the user JoeBlow. As long as I use the correct username and password combination from a host that is listed for user JoeBlow ... I'll get oper'ed. So where does the forced nick change come in?

Also if you are services root .. you don't need to use superadmin.

Im having the exact same problem as LIQUID_NiTrO.
Im using Unreal 3.2, and Anope 1.7.3.
So far, reading this topic has been completely a waste of time.

i'd suggest rechecking the format of the svsnick command and using the correct format, without ALL the parameters it requires the IRCd basically ignores the command.

the format has been posted in earlier posts on this thread, and can also be found via the /helpop command on Unreal

Ive followed the help - Ive tried every way possible that I could find.

I followed the instructions from:
/helpop ?svscmds
and
/helpop ?svsnick

I was using Anope 1.6.3 to begin with, and it wasnt working. Thats why I upgraded to 1.7.3. Im running these commands from my mIRC 6.12 session.
