nb_flag (default: "N")
The netbot flag. There are three ways you can set this:

1) Set a custom netbot flag such as "N". This must be an upper-case alphabet letter. You can easily add/remove netbots using the .netbots command. netbot commands will only be sent to and accepted from other netbots. This is the most secure setting, and is the best setting if your botnet is linked to other peoples' botnets.
2) Set the flag to "b" - eggdrop's bot flag. Commands will be sent to and accepted from bots recognised as +b on your bot's userfile.
3) Set it to "all". Commands will be sent to and accepted from all bots on the botnet. Because it utilises the 'putallbots' Tcl command, this is the most efficient setting for using netbots.tcl to control a large number of bots, making it a good option for large but private botnets.

Valid settings: as described above.
Option #3 is the one you want. :)

not necessarily - he/she didn't say the botnet is private - and if it's not, i.e. there are foreign bots linked, using "all" will force the use of [putallbots], which may reveal sensitive information to the foreign bots' owners

Have you first set the bots to control thru .control *, or .netcontrol *? Test it by using .netsay ____ in your homeroom...

control/netcontrol is used to specify which netbots (or group of netbots) to control - and by default you control all of them - so the command is irrelevant to that guy's problem

I made an assumption of a 'private' network because of what pissoble wrote:

The indication is a private network because both are his/hers; either way, a re-read of the Components Documentation should help. :)

actually, [putallbots] shouldn't reveal anything to foreign bots which don't have the nb_key since all botnet communications initiated by netbots script are encrypted
