users problem

well i have a little problem. i've added a user some time ago and as i understand eggdrop stored his nick and hotmask. but later the hotmask has changed, because he doesnt have a stationary IP. and now he cant log in to the bot, the bot doesnt say when he saw him last time (seen feature) and the bot does not say users greet message.
hope u understand the problem.
what should i do? to remove the user and add again?

thanks

ie: if your users name was sex & his host was lets say sex@i.need.it.com

you would type +host sex *!sex@i.need.it.com

as for the seen make sure your channel settings are +seen

ie: .chanset +seen the user would then need to be seen first before bot could record his seen him/her

A nice quick easy way of adding an old users new host to the bot is to do this.

Code: Select all

.adduser <channelnick> <nickstoredinbot>

i.e. if his nick was foo and he was added as bar originally then you would just use

Code: Select all

.adduser foo bar

The bot will automatically add his hostmask to his old username.

A word of warning tho if he is on a common isp say AOL, because the bot uses a mask to add the users host say

Code: Select all

*!*foobar@*.aol.com

anyone with an aol account with the ident foobar would be considered as your friend and opped if you have auto ops enabled.
