  • ircdcfg.js can corrupt ircd.ini

    From Rob Swindell@1:103/705 to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Thursday, April 16, 2026 10:23:04

    ```
    I found what happened. I ran jsexec ../exec/ircdcfg.js, which corrupted the ircd.ini contents by changing the block titles from [<category>:<item>] to [<category>:<sequential number>].

    So, my O-lines were indeed missing because they were showing up as [Operator:1] and so forth. This is also true for many of the other headers such as Services, Restriction and Server. I'm in the process of rebuilding my ircd.ini and will test is shortly after, but I anticipate no problems, well other than the one I found. :)

    I just tested and I can confirm this behavior. Also, not sure about anyone else but half the help is flashing when viewed in SyncTERM. Probably needs to be a separate issue unless you fancy fiddling with it :smile:
