Yeah will you need to be opered simple as that. Identify your o:line with the IRCd before you can gain SRA access. /oper <username> <password> After you are opered you will get an +o flag. Then depending upon which IRCd you use like for bahamut you have to manually set yourself +a or +A. So after you have opered up, identify your Services Root nickname and you will get full control over services. There is also a variable in services.conf which I am sure which you can enable or disable, which would toggle ON and OFF this setting. So maybe you have enabled it and people can't get services access unless they are opered up. So if you disable that directive/variable in the .conf file then you can get access without opering up. But I stronly recommend you and all people on your network to oper up before gaining services access priviledges. ./awyeah <div>On 7/27/05, Terry <<a href="mailto:terry@bluelight.org.uk">terry@bluelight.org.uk</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I want to give a user as much perms as possible so i can admin the server from work I did /msg OperServ  OPER ADD user That use the other end then logged in and did /msg NickServ IDENTIFY password Then tried to /msg operserv USERLIST as an example which gave permission  denied. In the logs it shows [Jul 26 22:32:29 2005] operserv/main: Non-oper user@blah sent: USERLIST. So i am not quite sure where the problem lays. I think this is what i need. *F.6. Trying to use OperServ gives me "Access denied", but my nick is in the ServicesRoot directive and is registered, and I've identified for my nick.*    You need to be opered ( i.e. user mode +o from using /oper; this is    different from channel operator mode) to access OperServ. But i dont under stand this part ( user mode +o from using /oper; t )    Cheers ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe or change your subscription options, visit: <a href="http://lists.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices">http://lists.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices</a> </blockquote></div> -- ·awyeah· ================================== Email: <a href="mailto:awyeah@awyeah.org">awyeah@awyeah.org</a> TCL Scripts: <a href="http://www.awyeah.org/">http://www.awyeah.org/ </a> MSN Messenger ID: <a href="mailto:awyeah@awyeah.org">awyeah@awyeah.org</a> IRC: /server <a href="http://irc.awyeah.org:6667">irc.awyeah.org:6667</a>, Nick: awyeah ==================================
