Hi
I recently setup a cpl of eggdrop bots 1.6.15 on my fedora box. I compiled and ran them successfully and they showed up on the network. The only problem being I can't DCC chat to them. Tried all methods /ctcp botnick chat etc ... ( I havn't tried to relink them yet)
I have set the myip in the config but still no luck. Everything else from the eggdrop side is setup identical to wht it was when It was at a shell server.
I was getting Denied Telnet from the logs. I do not have telnet enabled on my local box. When i try to telnet to 127.0.0.1. I get a connection refused. Is this the issue?? Isn't enabling telnet a security issue? as wherever I have read I have been always told to use ssh over telnet. (although I'm not sure this is possible for eggies?) How would i enable it if it is required I couldnt find anything in xinetd.d directory?
and can I limit its use to the local network via iptables? or would external users also need access to DCC chat to the bot?!
Also I read something about portforwarding from the router for DCC chats and file sends? Could somone please shed some light on that.
Any help much appreciated.
