Bots linking problem

[piranha]

Hi guys..
I have problems with bot linking.. There was post about it before from other user but it got erased 8P.
Anyway.. Simple linking of two bots. And they fail on authentication stage.
The messages I get:
(hub)
< kittykatz > [15:24] Telnet connection: ***********
< kittykatz > [15:24] Challenging pirfish...
< kittykatz > [15:25] Telnet connection: ***********
< kittykatz > [15:25] Challenging pirfish...
(slave)
< pirfish > [16:48] Received challenge from KittyKatz... sending response ...

etc... etc...
Never ending..

I was thinking about timeouts...

Any hints?

Good christ, Petersen - I hope the gay newfy doesn't go down

You should really keep the fanout factor at 10-12 bots per hub.

Let me ask you, do you ever have problems with a leaf bot not actually sharing properly with its hub. vbottree and bottree will report a +, but .who on the LEAF BOT itself will show that quite clearly it is NOT sharing.

This resulted from a Userfile Timeout error that happens during the transfer.

Also - how big is your userfile? Mine has 2200 users in it, and it about 1.5 megs in size.. and I'm wondering if I have to increase memtblsize in mem.c.

Help!

well, if gaynewf goes down then there is always my alt-hub. if that dies too, then i'm screwed I don't like the hub, sub-hub, leaf method. infact the only reason i have 4 bots on a sub-hub is cos i was having routing problems to gaynewf with them. the bot is perfectly capable of hubbing over 200 bots without any serious stability issues (though it is kinda stupid when a 200bot hub restarts and has to send that many userfiles at once, i've done it though)

as for the sharing issue, yes, it does happen to me. seems to be a lag related issue. i'm thinking of writing a small script to check that a bot is sharing properly a min or 2 after it has linked (this info can be got from the bot link flags shown in .dccstat and .tcl dcclist - if the G/S is capital the bot still thinks its receiving/sending the userfile from that particular link).

as for userfile, i dunno much about large ones. mine is ~100k, as i only have ~400 users. if i had a 1.5meg userfile it would probably kill gaynewf when it starts sharing on startup
