Help setting up an eggdrop

Hello,

First of all I would like to say, I'm a newbie with eggdrops and unix systems. Just wanted to point that out before I begin..

I wanna run an eggdrop on a freeBSD box I have here at home. I wanna try it for a while at home, before I pay for a professinal shell account. I read all the instructions on your site, and I did mange to install the eggdrop and make it run (even with crontab!). Now I'm just having problems setting the eggdrop to do what ever I want it do to..

Here's the problem. I want the eggdrop to keep the k mode off at my channel at any time. I also want it to give me a /msg when it needs ops on that channel. I read the eggdrop.conf notes, and came up with this:

#
channel add #??
chanmode "+nt-k"
idle-kick 0
stopnethack-mode 0
revenge-mode 0
need-op {putserv "PRIVMSG ????? :Test!" }
}
# ban-time 120

Note: Real channel name and username have been changed with "?".

Now, I know something is wrong with this configuration, just can't tell what it is...

Any ideas? I'm lost....

if your bot has already been running you have to use .chanset from the partyline.

Allright..

I can't use the partyline cause I can't DCC the eggdrop..

The log file of the eggdrop says something about "[18:08] DCC invalid port: CHAT "

Any more ideas?

Look in the .conf file for a "listen" line and bind it to a port that you want.
