adding *@* as owners hostmask would be a big security risk, but to do it in DCC with your bot do:

.+host <user> *@*

using the *@* host mask is a horrid security risk. try this: create a user with a different nick say (yournick1) with the host dhcp0029292blah while your orginal nick keeps the orginal mask. This may be a hassle but it sure beats out using *@* host mask which makes your bot easily hackable by anyone using a bruteforce cracker.

if you DO use *@* i advise using a 29bit password (29 characters) which would then blunt most hackers with little resources available. Now, finding out if the eggdrop can handle a 29bit password is another thing, I don't know, haven't tried it but only one way to find out i suppose.

heh - don't know what i was thinkin when i wrote that. just use /msg yourbot addhost password
