If any one has the time or has seen this problem ...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Information:
I have 1 hub bot running on my home machine
freebsd 5.3 stable
I have several bots on other servers that i would like to link to my hub bot
In this example i will stick to 2 bots _ hub and BSD the bot i want to link.
i use .+bot host:port on both bots like it says in the help file
My hub bot _ listens on port 50000
The bot BSD i want to link listens on port 40000
On the bot BSD i wish to link i type .link _ (_ is the hub bots name)
[08:58] #talon# link _
[08:58] Linking to _ at www.unix.org.au:50000 ...
[08:58] Received challenge from _... sending response ...
[08:58] Linked to _.
*** Linked to _
On the hub Bot _ I see this
[09:58] Telnet connection: BSD'sHOSTNAME/50230
[09:58] Timeout/EOF ident connection
[09:58] Challenging BSD...
[09:58] Linked to BSD.
*** Linked to BSD
Bottree looks good !!
[10:01] #talon# bottree
_
`--BSD
Average hops: 1.0, total bots: 2
Life is good
everything is normal on both bots[09:00] Writing user file...
[09:00] Writing channel file...
After about 5 minutes I see the following
On BSD the bot i want to link
[09:05] Ping timeout: _
*** Ping timeout: _ (lost 1 bot and 1 user)
On _ the hub bot I see The following
[10:05] Ping timeout: BSD
*** Ping timeout: BSD (lost 1 bot and 1 user)
I have no idea how to fix this
i have tried updating recompiling unloading all scripts etc etc
Its rather annoying i must say
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Could it be the time thing both bots are an exactly an hour out of sync
Daylight savings crap ??
Both machines block ICMP (Pings) ??
