i've setup a small botnet of 3 bots but after restarting one of them it no longer gets invited or opped in any chans, i've read the faq on this and gone through every step but still nothing, they have correct flags and are linked ok, anything else i can check? everything was working fine before restarting...
Have you changed the v-hsot used by the bot by any chance?
If so, you need to make the other bots aware of this, by changing the hostmask records as well.
Hostmasks is how bots recognise each toher, and other users. If it was only by nickname and flags, a nobody could gain OWNER status, just by usign the owners nickname while he is off IRC>
