There is a config setting to disallow connections from unknown host. Did they connect from the same host as the replaced bot? (I suspect not)
Go through a fresh copy of eggdrop.conf and pay extra close attention to the settings dealing with telnet.
Another thing that can improve protection against script kiddies is changing the salts in the blowfish module. Many script kiddies use tools that have fixed salts equal to the standard eggdrop ones, so do a couple of changes in mod/blowfish.mod/blowfish.c line 263 and 264 (check the comments) before you compile your new eggdrops. (Sharing bots must have the same salts)
