Eggdrop 1.6.15 doesn't attach to a port

[Agarwaen]

Hello !

I compiled a egg 1.6.15 on my brand new FreeBSD box, and nearly everything is fine... nearly, coz I'm not able to telnet the bot.

The eggy starts correctly, it connects to IRC and there is no pb, except it doesn't listen on any port. I have a "listen 3336 all" line in my conf, "set my-ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is okay... and the port is opened on the firewall.

In fact, when I do a "netstat -f inet", no process is listening on the port I fixed !

Does anyone of you have an idea ?

[j0n]

that is wierd.

when the bot loads up, does it say :

Eggdrop v1.6.15 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2003 Eggheads
[00:18] --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.15 (Thu May 29 2003)
[00:18] Listening at telnet port 3336 (all)

other then that, i really don`t know what to tell ya.

Aditionaly, is the process still running in the background, or has it crashed (thus not listening).

j0n> yes, the egg starts and displays the usual "Listening at telnet port 3336 (all)" line, but, and this is what really puzzles me, it doesn't listen !

ppslim> yes the egg starts correctly. it connects to the server, joins the chan, and replies correctly to requests (/msg commands work, tcl scripts work...), except that the DCC & telnet fail...

The egg is a 1.6.15 compiled with IPv6 support. I run several instances, on IPv4 & IPv6. Here are some of my logs :

Code: Select all

agarwaen@null-b:~$ telnet localhost 3336
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

I have a new element : I started the bot with the -nt option, and I got the dreaded error "Attempt to kill un-allocated socket 0 !!"
BUT ! my resolv.conf is OK, and I run a Bind 9 correctly configured for IPv4 & IPv6...

Code: Select all

root@null-b:/usr/local/eggdrop/neithan# su - neithan -c /usr/local/eggdrop/neithan/neithan

There are no other users on the bot or party line.

For [censored]'s sake, I think this bot hates me !

[ppslim]

The killing unallocated socket error is unrealted to your problems, this happens when the bot shutdown, using the messages "Authorized by agarwaen"

[gumbydammit]

umm perhaps a silly question but did you change the order of the conf? is your listen 3336 all line AFTER your set my-ip line?

[j0n]

[13:11] Listening at telnet port 50000 (all)

as per your conf, try using that port

Also, if it is ipv6 related... try maybe using the ipv4 ip associated with the ipv6 hostname

[menace]

i do have exactly the same probleme on any of my boxes:
my eggdrop-1.6.15 compiled with ipv6 support does not bind to a port.
it does come to irc, it does link to the botnet (if an userfile is provided), all seems very well working except the port binding.

ive also tried the latest snapshot from cvs but problem remains.

anybody got some ideas on that?

[har0]

Silly question mabye.. but ..

You showed :

root@null-b:/usr/local/eggdrop/

etc in the log

what user is the bot running from ?? why do you .su in order to kill it ?
the errors on connection like

telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1... and telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused

do mean, that the bot recognizes the NAT IP and not your external ?
