Guest · Post by **Guest** » Thu Dec 06, 2001 2:34 am

ok, i have learn users set to 1.

when someone msgs the bot with hello they get no response.

also when i add a user manually using the .adduser command, how do they set a password?

i tried from another hostmask
/msg andrea pass password
but again no response

any help?

it looks like the bot isnt responding to any /msg commands, including from the owner. identify seems to work, but thats it. heh, im so lost.

As I see in my .conf .. modify this 2 lines and then should work.

"set learn-users 1"
"#unbind msg - hello *msg:hello"

As ceasar sugested, you will find 2 lines simalar to the ones above, make sure "set lean-users" is set to 1, and that the "unbind msg - hello *msg:hello" line has a # at the begining.

Once this is done, you will need to issue a ".restart" in the partyline.

Note, this setting/mode can be a security risk, check the following setting in the confog file "set default-flags" is set to a the correct flags.

This could provide an attacker a method of gaining access to a bot and taking your channels. You should remove the "p" from the setting, as it provides access to the bot.

As for "/msg <bot> pass <password>" not working. Are you sure, that when you changed your hostname, that it matched a user without a password?
