lightIRC flash policy daemon

[newznz]

Hi there - as of this morning I've been unable to connect using lightirc (flash.rizon.net port 843).

I noticed this happened to people who were connected using lightirc:

[04:58:21] * dogster was kicked by irc.rizon.sexy (Split rider)
[04:58:21] * jag22 was kicked by irc.rizon.sexy (Split rider)
[04:58:21] * cpotrader was kicked by irc.rizon.sexy (Split rider)
[05:13:01] * Cisco was kicked by irc.rizon.sexy (Split rider)
[05:13:01] * ally09 was kicked by irc.rizon.sexy (Split rider)

Thanks in advance for any help!

p.s. the default error message displays on lightirc when trying to connect:

Flash policy problem. If you are the server owner, please read http://redmine.lightirc.com/projects...p_instructions. You need to install a flash policy daemon at irc.rizon.net (port 843).

Sorry the server it is hosted on rebooted and wasn't configured to automatically start the flash policy daemon. It has been fixed.

Great - thanks for this Adam!

Hi again - the same thing happened a few hours ago - everyone on lightIRC got kicked off:

[05:05:26] * Asa9 was kicked by irc.rizon.sexy (Split rider)
[05:05:26] * in6724i was kicked by irc.rizon.sexy (Split rider)
[05:05:26] * Cisco was kicked by irc.rizon.sexy (Split rider)
[05:05:26] * jag22 was kicked by irc.rizon.sexy (Split rider)
[05:05:26] * ciggie was kicked by irc.rizon.sexy (Split rider)
[05:05:26] * ally09 was kicked by irc.rizon.sexy (Split rider)
[05:05:26] * davidmyster was kicked by irc.rizon.sexy (Split rider)

Any chance to set up a prevention of this outside the normal netsplits?

Cheers

The server rebooted (again) due to unforeseen problems. There is only one server serving flashirc currently. Maybe I can add some more.

Does your channel have a channel key or something? The "split rider" kick was a new "feature" to prevent people from riding the split into a channel with a key that they do not know. Perhaps its not as great of an idea as I thought it was.

Hi Adam

Thanks for the reply. The channel does indeed have a key...was wondering what that rider message was. I have lightIRC autoconnect to the channel on Rizon when people log into my site, so they wouldn't have seen any error messages etc if there's a disconnect because they're hidden in the client.
It's been pretty reliable, but I guess due to the key this could happen again...

Cheers again...

[Adam]

I'll get rid of it for keys.

Great - many thanks Adam!
