/oper
Example: /oper admin password
Now you should have operator status on ConferenceRoom.
Here is a step by step instruction on how to add and secure the administrative access
to your server. You can create as many of these administrative or 'oper' profiles as you
need.
In the next line we issue the command to add an operator. Where it says
/as oper
Now that you have done this type:
/umode -o
Now it's time to try your new Oline, type the oper command and replace name and
password type:
/oper
To check if you have operator status do a whois on yourself. Information on whois can
be found in the Command Reference guide.
/whois user
Jeff is java@pm02-01.vip.webmaster.com * Java User
Jeff is the nickname of the user, java is the persons userid, vip.webmaster.com is
the hostname and Java User is the users real name.
User is java@pm02-01.vip.webmaster.com * Java User
Please note that there is a difference between nickname and userid, as noted above.
When setting up the hostmask, be careful that you allow for any dynamic or changing
parts of your address. In the example above, pm02-01 would change every time this
user dialed in. You can use the wildcard character * to replace these areas:
*.vip.webmaster.com would become the hostname you would want to place in the
User specification area for Jeff.
If you have an address that doesn't change then you can put in that exact address,
would recommend experimentation with this as it's an important security feature
and takes some practice.
Server Administrator
If you have Services or Server Administrator access the server will give you the
access when you oper. If you set yourself -a or -A you'll need to re-oper to get
access to these commands again.
/as oper
Where user is your nickname. The output should look something like:
Jeff on @#lobby
Jeff using irc.webmaster.com WebMaster's IRC Server
Jeff is an IRC Operator - Server Administrator
Jeff has been idle 13mins 28secs, signed on Wed Oct 16 14:24:26
