"fixed" the issue in adding the reverse connect statement in
the hybrid2 conf<br>
But does it mean to connect it is REQUIRED that both servers
know each other ? It is impossbile that a new server connects
to an existing one without being configured/restarted (in the
existing one) ?<br>

As far as I recall, two ircds must know each other in order to link.
IRCD<->IRCD links require<br>
a trust relationship, unlike for example SMTP or HTTP, since each
server holds a state of the<br>
network and can seriously fuck the network up (unlike smtp and http
which is client->server).<br>
<br>
Quoting from IRC history (search Google):<br>
<br>
<br>
<div class="subtitle" align="left">"EFnet </div>
<p>In August 1990 the first major disagreement took place in the IRC
world. The "A-net" (Anarchy net) included a server named
eris.berkeley.edu. It was all open, required no passwords and had
no limit on the number of connects. As Greg "wumpus" Lindahl
explains: <i>"it had a wildcard server line, so people were
hooking up servers and nick-colliding everyone"</i>. </p>
<p>The "Eris Free network", EFnet, made the eris machine the first
to be Q-lined (Q for quarantine) from IRC (wumpus' words again: <i>"Eris
refused to remove that line, so I formed EFnet. It wasn't much
of a fight; I got all the hubs to join, and almost everyone else
got carried along."</i>). A-net was formed with the eris
servers, EFnet was formed with the non-eris servers. History
showed most servers and users went with EFnet. The name EFnet
lived only shortly, as soon as ANet had died, the name EFnet
became void too. There was one and only IRC left again."<br>

<br>
I have installed 2 hybrid servers
(hybrid1:192.168.22.132 and hybrid2:192.168.22.131),
that works.<br>
Then I'd like the 1st one to connect to the 2nd one
(to share channels and users)<br>
<br>
so in hybrid1 conf I have added :</span></span><br>

<br>
The 2 servers can ping each other so no network
issue, no firewalling, users can connect to both.<br>
<br>
So I guess that's a conf issue ? Where
should send_password and accept_password need to
be set on the hybrid2 server ?<br>
<br>
Thanks !<br>
