Latest CVS had some strip flags for special characters renamed. This breaks megahal which uses the old names.

I've fixed this. You can fetch the updated module from http://eggdrop.egg6.net/modules/megahal ... do.tar.bz2

Our module ftp will be updated soon as well.

You just need to read few lines of documentation and issue a command or two to get yourself a certificate and a key. Then it will work. That simple. It's obviously not necessary to encrypt the botnet on localhost, but we just decided to enable encryption always when possible instead of relying on ra...

Having written the code myself, I insist on what I said. The explanation is in doc/TLS: Botnet links between TLS-enabled bots will automatically switch to SSL. In this case however, the nickname and password will be sent before SSL negotiation takes place (the password is not send as cleartext anywa...

1.8's botnet uses SSL by default, unless the bot is compiled without TLS. If you do not setup a certificate on your hub, the bots will not link.
Hope this clarifies the situation. How exactly to do it, is documented in doc/TLS

Looks OK, but what are these servers? Do they work with some SSL-enabled IRC client?

If possible, come at #eggdrop @ Undernet (our official channel) in order to communicate this more efficiently. Just come there, mention your problem and wait a while. I'll try to help.

To make this work, you would need to use the latest stable version - 1.6.21 if you don't need SSL ot the development version 1.8 to have SSL.

Hi all, i have compiled new Eggdrop 1.6.20 when i connect with telnet and i type .rehash the telnet closed and the bot leave IRC with client exit. .restart works, no problem any one an idea ? Provide a log. Copy and paste the whole output before the telnet session terminates. Otherwise we would hav...

Great news, thanks for posting! I am on it. The open ssl client doesn't look so pretty and comfortable, but for the security it's worth it. arfer, do you think it's worth to implement? You could also use the telnet-ssl utility which is just normal telnet but over ssl. I've also added support for dc...

Does your Eggdrop Telnet Client support IPv6? And as for encryption.... I also never comprehended why we the eggdrop partyline is cleartext (where you can execute shell command while everything else is fine (encrypted botnet, SSH to shell, SSL to irc). None of the released eggdrop versions support ...

Whenever you request help, for eggdrop or anything else, please add any information that you could provide. Leaving us guessing, dramatically reduces your chances to get help. The possibilities are numerous and most people's time is precious. I don't even see the eggdrop version you are using, do yo...

Do not use the ssl patch for 1.6.20 under any circumstances. It's a total failure. Please read http://www.eggheads.org/news/2011/05/25/39

Then your problem reports are invalid too...

Switch to the latest version before reporting problems.

Use 1.8 from cvs. If you could afford running a 3rd party patch, you can also afford using the official development code.

Yeah, if your operating system isn't kind enough to report the nameservers to eggdrop, you have to set them manually, after the dns module is loaded. So dns-servers must be set in the config file after the loadmodule dns command.
