Telneting Eggdrop

[starr]

I feel really stupid but can someone tell me how to telnet to my bot on a shell and how do I know I'm getting my bot and not one of the dozens of other people who are using that vhost.

Thanks

make sure you change the following port(s) in the config file:

# If you would like the bot to listen for users and bots in separate ports,
# use the following format:
#

Either these 2 and uncomment them,

# listen 3333 bots
# listen 4444 users
#
# If you wish to use only one port, use this format:
#

or this one and uncomment it

# listen 3333 all

use a unique port number (I use anything between 3000 and 65000).
when you telnet, you'll have to use the address (vhost) AND port

Thanks I do use unique ports for each bot and while the odds are good I won't get someone's elses bot there is a chance lol

A chance, yes, but then you have to login to the bot. Not likely someone will have your login info also.
