You hafta add the +a flag to an existing bot in the botnet. Lets say your botnicks are hub, don, jim, bill, tom, dan. You would need to make 1 of the leafs an alternate. .botattr bill +a

you'll need to set the ports up in the config file as well, in the example used 31337 would need to be the port set in the config, default is 3333? i think 'listen 31337 all' If your trying to op a 'nickname'and user@host then you'd do .+user handle nickname!*user@host.com and .chattr handle +a but ...

Cestpool should of kicked akab after setting the +b, make sure +enforcebans is set. Although this may have only caused the channel to be desynched. as for the takeover, massdeops sometimes work, an sometimes they dont, like the roll of the dice. the more bots you add, the more secure you become but ...

Try setting them all to 0 including the global settings and then take sentinel out of netset.tcl

You were right, that was what I was overlooking. Thanks a lot. I usually leave that line commented out, but I re-did all the configs and left it defined. Thanks again

Try telneting to the ports you assigned and see if you can connect. If not, try another port. Shell servers lock out ports to prevent DoS so you might hafta keep trying ports till you find one open or another bot could be using the port your using

You might need to switch hubs again. it sounds like the host your using as a hub is drained of most of its resources and thus the bots timeout on userfile transfer. Perhaps too many eggdrops on this host, too much drain on the CPU. Or have the admins reboot the server haha

You can check for a crontab by type crontab -l at the shell prompt and crontab -r to remove one if it exists. Although it sounds like a server anamolly

setting ban time to 0 *should* keep the ban forever. Sometimes egg gets confused w/ this setting and arbitrarily deletes bans on its own after an hour even tho its set to 0, in which case you case it to 100000. enforcebans simply kicks ppl that match channel bans

Is it a windrop or on a shell account? Some shell providers block ports including dcc ports to prevent DoS floods. Connect to irc w/ a client (epic, BitchX, ircII) and see if you dcc chat yourself.

Perm bans should be unaffected

I know I've had this problem in the past but its been quite a few years I'm guessing since I had to solve it and I've forgotten. My leaf bots are deleting the +o for all bots in their userlists, most likely during userfile shareing. What could cause this?
