You need to load the sentinel component for channel CTCP flood protection. Refer to the components documentation for information on sentinel.

On the update check error: if it occurs only once or twice, you can ignore it. If it occurs every day, disable nb_update by setting it to "".

Thanks slennox
ah you mean this
sl_ccflood (default: 5:20)
Channel CTCP flood.
is this will cover all ctcp's like "ping,finger,version,clientinfo,userinfo..etc??

thanks

Hi slennox, thanks for your help, but i have a last question, just wanted to make sure
since eggdrop has a setting as well for channel ctcp, now should i disable eggdrop setting since sentinel is taking care of it, or these both should be ok, eggdrop and sentinel, if yes, then eggdrop setting should be > sentinel setting or sentinel > eggdrop's setting, like if i have 3:60 in eggdrop then sentinel should be 2:20?? is that ok, your advise will be greatly appreciated.

thanks
regards

There is no need to disable eggdrop's own flood protection mechanisms. The idea is that eggdrop will detect and kick the small individual flooders, while sentinel.tcl will take over when a larger flood occurs.

I would not recommend a setting of 2:20 for any of sentinel's mechanisms. A user sending two CTCPs or whatever is not a flood, and instructing sentinel to respond to such a case would be an overreaction and more disruptive to the channel than the "flood" itself. While one may want the script to react as soon as possible, there must be balance, and I wouldn't recommend setting the "number" field in the numbers:seconds settings to any less than 4 or 5.
