why i see these msg always

root@irc [~/Unreal3.2.10]# ./unreal start
Starting UnrealIRCd
WARNING: You are running UnrealIRCd as root and it is not
         configured to drop priviliges. This is _very_ dangerous,
         as any compromise of your UnrealIRCd is the same as
         giving a cracker root SSH access to your box.
         You should either start UnrealIRCd under a different
         account than root, or set IRC_USER in include/config.h
         to a nonprivileged username and recompile.

help me please

1) You're running it as root, you really shouldn't - it does this say in quite big letters.
2) This isn't an Anope problem, so you may find better help on a forum for unreal.
3) Does modules/commands.so exist?

If I was you, I'd reinstall Unreal properly and not use root.

[SamirBeh]

every thing is oky now , but when i user these order cd services ./services

h see thise msg

WARNING: You are currently running Anope as the root superuser. Anope does not
    require root privileges to run, and it is discouraged that you run Anope
    as the root superuser.

[Charles Kingsley]

Read what I said before, using root is bad.

Please don't do this.

[SamirBeh]

what's the way to add new user have all root power ?

[Charles Kingsley]

You shouldn't be wanting to do that.

You should not be running anope/ircd as a root user, this just does not make sense.

[SamirBeh]

so , what's the safe way to join server , more detils plz

[Charles Kingsley]

You should create a user on your server, such as "irc" and then install both your ircd and services as this user.

[SamirBeh]

fine how i can create a new user give me the order to do it

[Charles Kingsley]

useradd -m irc
passwd irc (to set their password)

Then SSH into your system as the 'irc' user with the password.

[SamirBeh]

root@irc [~/services]# useradd -m java
useradd: user java exists
root@irc [~/services]# passwd java java123
passwd: Only one user name may be specified.
root@irc [~/services]# passwd java as7ap123
passwd: Only one user name may be specified.


what's error ?

[Charles Kingsley]

well, in the first instance it says the user already exists, so quite literally you cannot have two users with the same name can you?

If you run the command passwd java with no arguments it will prompt you for the password as setting it on the command line would be considered insecure/stupid.
