I need your assistance, I have a unrealircd.
On my channels do I see that the length of the messages are limited
has 451 or 450 characters, I would like to know how I can increase
this limit?
I sought in the docs and the source code... nothing... helped me!
Thank You

IOW you are actually saying that you want this user to uninstall his
existing program and load one of your choosing. There may be a sound
reason for this, but you aren't exactly forthcoming on this point.

Perhaps if you stated your reasons for the above, it might.

WOW you are a perceptive one.

How about buggy exploitable software vs a more secure application?!

How about a little more information. Descriptions. Links. Something other
than one line opinions. I don't mind the idea of killing a buggy app but,
as far as anyone might know, you might be advising replacing rubbish with
rubbish. That hardly helps the OP.

I wonder how IRC clients would deal with an ircd that sends out messages
bigger than the limit in the RFC. On the other side of things, however,
clients like xchat break large messages into several if they exceed the
limit, which is a smart thing to do, compared to some clients where you end
up with silently truncated data.

The limit is probably 511 or 512 characters. Search the source code
for 511 or 512 -- it's probably a #define somewhere, and increase it.
Then test.

The difference is probably that any message you send also includes
`nick!***@host PRIVMSG #target: ' in addition to whatever message you
send.

Of course, I make no promises that any other servers (if any) will
like yours after making this change, and that irc clients won't choke
on it.
