Random nick with iph???? on start

Vertig0 · Post by **Vertig0** » Tue Nov 09, 2004 10:25 am

When my egg joins IRC after server reboot, it always got the random nick "iph<few random numbers here>". I have set the nick and the alternative nick in .conf and i am sure that the nick is never taken on the IRC servers.
I got no scripts but default ones in /scripts

What can be done to prevent this from happenening ? To make the egg gain the original nick, i have to .restart from console, then it joins IRC with correct nick.

`alo

so, pardon my ignorance, but could you tell us what you have set for the variables set nick, set altnick, and set botnet-nick? Kinda sounds like you have something unwanted set in one of these variable settings, like set nick "iph????" or something similar...

The nick is a word from english language, alt. nick is same word with 2 "?" at the end to make sure that the alt. nick will be for sure free. The botnet nick is the same with the real nick. Still, after every reconnection the nick is iph43634 (digits are always random).
the line "keep-nick" is set to 1, so the egg must get the real nick, but it doesnt.

Hope this is more clear.. If you need to know the IP of the server or average uptime to be able to help me, be free to ask

I suggest you fix the bots access list up and also look through the script archive for an auto identify script so the bot identifies to nickserv on connect.

I also would have a question regarding these iph nicks...
There is an eggdrop that belongs to a friend of mine... I only have access to it by party line. The bot runs on Undernet. I noticed the folllowing two binds:

[09:36] <BotNick> evnt -|- init-server 5 iphinit
[09:36] <BotNick> evnt -|- connect-server 192 iphconn

Then there was a situation similar to the one below

[13:26] <BotNick> [06:27] * IRC NICK CHANGE: BotNick -> iph678708
[13:26] <BotNick> [06:27] Trying server BigCity.TK.Eu.Undernet.org:6669

[13:26] <BotNick> [06:28] NICK IN USE: BotNick (keeping 'iph678708')
[13:26] <BotNick> [06:28] iph678708 joined #MyChannel.
[13:27] <BotNick> [06:29] Switching back to altnick BotNick5
[13:27] <BotNick> [06:29] Regained alternate nickname 'BockNick5'.

Could you please tell me where I can get/download the script with those two IPH procedures?

Thanks in advance.

The only problem you have is your bot is not identifying to services on connect hence being given that networks iph****** which is the same as most other networks' Guest****** nicks. This will happen also when the enforce option is set for a nick to prevent it being used by others.

Try searching for "init-server" in the tcl, eggdrop archives and you will find tonnes of links on how to make your bot identify it's nick to nickserv etc, on connection to an irc server and whenever the services requests an identification.

Check : http://www.egghelp.org/tcl.htm
Look for : hide_ip ... file will be ip_hide.zip

Hoping this is what you are looking for.

Who needs a script?

Code: Select all

# This is a Tcl script to be run immediately after connecting to a server.
bind evnt - init-server evnt:init_server

proc evnt:init_server {type} {
  global botnick
  putquick "MODE $botnick +i-wsx"
}

It's as simple as modifying eggdrop.conf.

he only has partyline access to the bot.

Which means there's almost nothing he can do.

try a .rehash to reload the conf file and possibly see what scripts are being loaded. from there procede to google until you find what you're looking for.
