using chpass and using /msg bot pass

[traveler]

I'm trying to do some password changes.

chpass works fine within the bot.

But - "/msg bot pass oldpassword newpassword" - does not work from the main channel window. Does it need to be activated or something? It comes back with -

-Bot- Your password has been set before, you don't need to set it again. Simpy type: [/msg ABxDude auth <password>] to authenticate yourself.


Thank you.

pass -|-

/msg botnick pass <password>
Sets a password, which lets you use other commands, like ident. Ops and masters need a password to use ANY op or master command.

/msg botnick pass <oldpass> <newpass>

Why does my bot fail to execute the command:

/msg botnick pass <oldpassword> <newpassword>

???


When the command is transmitted to the bot he says the following error message:

-Botnick- Your password has been set before, you don't need to set it again. Simpy type: [/msg Botnick auth <password>] to authenticate yourself.


How do I fix the pass command so that it will work to change passwords? It works fine to set first time passwords only.

looks to me like you have a non-standard proc bound to msg pass
