Hmm, I have access to oper on a ratbox ircd....

I can auth with that ircd:

/oper dvl MyPasswod

After that, I don't know how to op someone in a channel (i.e. me)

There are no services running for this instance (i.e. no /msg nickserv ....

Ideas?

@dvl Back in the days of yore I'm thinking it was /mode #channel +o name

@jimp That sounds familiar, and I will try it again tomorrow to confirm, and when I tried it, I'm told I'm not a channel operator.

@jimp Confirmed.

/oper dvl passwod
You are now an IRC Operator on irc.example.org
/mode #foo +o dvl
Message(482): #FOO You're not channel operator

@dvl Alas, I was never burdened with the responsibility of server operator status, no matter how much teenage me naively thought he'd want it.

Could be a higher privilege command to run as an ircop that does it like /samode but since I have no direct experience at that level, I'll bow out.
