this message was received when trying to connect to the bucharest server:

Closing Link: nick by Bucharest.RO.EU.Undernet.Org (Authorization timed out)

i have no idea what it means.

It's a general issue and I have notified the appropriate persons about it.
It will be fixed soon, I'll keep you posted.

In the meantime, try connecting to other servers.

for 7 hours

Ticket sent to Core Staff. Currently checking the issue.
Can't see if it's a problem with the interconnection with RDS - IRC Server or with anyone - IRC Server.

Later Edit :
It's the interconnection with RDS - IRC Server. I can connect without any problem using another Romanian ISP.
Some friends can't connect at all.
I have friends that can't connect to other servers either : [02:31] Closing Link: boZGoR by Diemen.NL.EU.Undernet.Org (No Authorization - use another server)

Don't have any additional information at the moment, but I'll keep you posted.

It'll be solved today, the most probably.

if bucharest is using ircu version u2.10.12.06 then it`s a bug, as for the Diemen server, as far as i know it`s either a RDS problem cause i`m using RDS too, or it`s from the diemen staff which doesn`t allow .ro connections anymore.

Welcome to the UnderNet IRC Network, Etherfast2
Your host is Bucharest.RO.EU.Undernet.Org, running version u2.10.12.06

Checked with RDS, I might suggest them to upgrade, BUT what's the IRCU version they should use?

Note: Certain RDS IP's can connect to Bucharest.RO.*

okay, it worked for me today. and also i didn't had to wait for those 10 seconds of ident check like before.

Etherfast · Post by **Etherfast** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 2:36 pm

Still no general improvement, there are some IP's that won't allow connections, and the ident thingie was since two days ago (I noticed).

Eithert tell dudu to upgrade to .07 which is the required release, or to .05

Etherfast · Post by **Etherfast** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 9:46 am

Talked to dudu, IRCU is now upgraded to .07 for Bucharest.Ro.Eu.*.

Mostly, the users that were using NAT were affected, no matter of the ISP The others were not affected in any way.

Either way, the problem is solved now.
Thanks for letting us know about it

Keops · Post by **Keops** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 12:26 pm

so now, bucharest will return to version 11.07?

Etherfast not really, Bucharest is still using u2.10.12.06.

I don't know much about "12" ircu versions but i can tell you that the error "Authorization timed out" comes when the irc client did not send the "authorization" in time. That authorization is actually the nickname, real name..etc... The irc client has to respond to the irc client with the autorization line in "x" seconds, if not, the irc client is deconnected by that message. The "x" seconds can be setup from the irc server configuration file. If that value is too small, then only machines with fast conectiong and good peering with RDS / Bucharest server will be able to connect to it, the other ppl, will get that error.

and another problem which used to work but not anymore

[19:29:53] -undernet.rdsnet.ro- *** No ident response

used to work. on any other undernet server is working. why doesnt it gets that ident reply? could it be from my pc | connection?

The-Judge · Post by **The-Judge** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 8:42 pm

if you the other undernet servers get ident reply from you, it means that bucharest server is not setup as it should be...

Etherfast · Post by **Etherfast** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 8:55 pm

Sorry, I kinda left this out.
I've talked to dudu, and indeed, he still kept .06, BUT in order to let people using NAT connect to the server, he had to disable the ident recognition.
"The better worse" as he said, at least for now.

In the future, as bugs in .07 will be fixed, we will consider upgrading.
