Title: OS TSSYNC help
Post by: WilliamWikked on March 24, 2008, 03:09:25 AM

Question, I used to use OS TSSYNC and when I installed the newest Anope (1.7.21), I tried loading the module and it wouldn't work. The .so is in the modules dir, but OS won't load it..?

os_szline.so
cs_appendtopic.so      hs_set.so        ns_suspend.so       os_tssync.so


<William> modload os_tssync
<OperServ> Unable to load module os_tssync

Ideas? :/

Sorry if I'm missing something, it's been forever since we upgraded Anope (something like 1.7.14 or something)

Thanks,
William

did you recompile the module from the source? a .so is compiled for a specific version of anope..

and it s always possible the module no longer works on latest release since it is no longer being maintained..

os_tssync is just an ugly fix, the best way to solve TS problems is running NTP clients on all your servers..

additionally that message doesn't tell us anything more than it told you .. try reading your logs.

Ok, so how do I fix this?

I tried make modules in the Anopexxx folder but it still won't load, so is it perilous to try?

I know it may be ugly, but I have no idea how to run NTP and Google's version seems a bit technical to me (Not really into networking in linux too much, kind of a noob to linux in general.)

try 'make clean' or 'make distclean' and re-compile the module. it might work

i still think you aren't recompiling the module...
you probably upgraded to a new anope, installed it, but never copied the modules' source into anope-1.7.21/src/modules .... therefore the version in services/ remains the  version compiled for your previous version of anope.

and you should really look into NTP... it being "technical" is imo just another way of saying "i m lazy"... if you don't know something, learn about it... you installed anope once for a first time.
another reason is that os_tssync is no longer available or maintained and therefore will sooner or later become outdated and incompatible with newer releases.

btw, if you just run your ircd on a shell, it's your hosts' job to make sure the time is synced since you need root to run NTP.
if that s just case, all it takes is a mail to your host complaining they don't run NTP. though personally i would really reconsider staying with the host since installing NTP should be the first thing any decent server admin does...

We're on a dedicated shell so that pretty much makes me the admin, I guess. heh.

Anyways, how do I check if NTP is installed? If not, how do I get it?  We're running RH FC 7
