I was trying to run a bot in my root account and I received it:
[xx:xx] * ERROR: Eggdrop will not run as root!
I need to run my eggdrop as root, and I will not have problems with this...
So, how can I run it as root in my computer?
I'm waitin for answers, thanks...

Run Eggdrop as root.
Eggdrop has security issues, therefore it is not permitted to be run directly from a root. Neither normal users are allowed to IRC as root. Use a normal shell account.
If you have root access you can definately create a shell account? am I right?
No one can help you with this; its the way how the coders coded the eggdrop. However if you know C and can tweak the source code then you might be able to work-up something, but I don't recommend or suggest that even if you are capable of doing so.

Remove 2 lines from main.c, thats all :)
Code: Select all
if (((int) getuid() == 0) || ((int) geteuid() == 0))
fatal("ERROR: Eggdrop will not run as root!", 0);
Que?
Keep in mind what awyeah said...
There are very good reasons why eggdrop should not be run from the root directory, as I'm sure you will quickly discover if you apply that hack...awyeah wrote:Eggdrop has security issues, therefore it is not permitted to be run directly from a root.
