Problem connecting to the bot through telnet

Helpless · Post by **Helpless** » Wed Dec 11, 2002 1:17 pm

Hey, i have a tcl script named sitebot, what it does is establishing a connection between RaidenFTPD and the bot, the raiden connects to the bot and the bot connects to raiden, the bot connects to raiden to load up information, statistics and other stuff from the raiden, and the raiden is connected to the bot to send it special commands that will announce things at irc. so i loaded up this script and defined everything, the bot and the raiden are online and works smood. the tcl script loaded and the bot connected to the irc.

[18:51:03] * PiG has joined #Tests
[18:51:10] <PiG> =PiG= Sitestat 4.5 Powered...

and after that i dcc chat him and viewed everything from inside, i also telneted to him to check that the telnet is working fine, then i saw that the bot is connected to the raiden and idle'ing there, but the raiden isn't connected to the bot:

[19:10:16] <Helpless> .whom
[19:10:16] <PiG> [17:09] #Helpless# whom
[19:10:16] <PiG> Nick Bot Host
[19:10:16] <PiG> ---------- --------- --------------------
[19:10:16] <PiG> *Helpless PiG ~iKnowThat@Pigs.Rule.The.Scene
[19:10:16] <PiG> Total users: 1

so i stayed there and waited untill i saw:

[18:54:05] <PiG> [16:53] Telnet connection: 213.153.223.94/3043
[18:54:17] <PiG> [16:53] Timeout/EOF ident connection
[18:54:26] <PiG> [16:53] Ident timeout on telnet: telnet@213.153.223.94

so i thought maybe the password or flags that i defined for the user in the bot aren't correct so i checked like 20 times to see if the proporties that defined in the raiden equal to the user in the bot and they are. i even tryed to connect myself with the raiden account to the bot and it went well. the raiden user's host is defined to *@* so i don't understand why is there a problem with the idnet.. i even tryed to define his host as telnet@213.153.223.94 which is what was trying to connect to it and i also tryed *!*@* but nothing seems to work.

i'll very much appreciate if someone could help me with this problem, thanks in advanced

2 things to try.

First, reduce the timeout value for the identd request. This is does in the bots config file.

Second, try installing a identd deamon on the system.

First of all , thanks for your reply , i did your first suggestion :
Set ident-timeout 120

The default was 5 seconds so i set it to 120 seconds but still it didn't help :
[00:11:41] <PiG> [22:10] Ident timeout on telnet: telnet@213.153.223.94

Where can i get an identd daemon ?

If you use windrop, you can use the included identd tcl script.

If you are on *nix, refer to your suppliers web-site and FTP archaives for this software, as it either comes as standard, or can be downloaded seperatly.

Soemtimes, it is inlcluded with the OS, and is disabled as default. See the instructions for xinetd and inetd (depending on OS and version) for information on enabling it.

Note, you will need to be root to install and run identd.
