Configs disregarded, connections drop & MISC problems

[DustWolf]

Hello,

I set up an eggdrop on my private Linux computer and even tho it connects to the server normally and will work fine for some time, it has several problems:

1. It disregards configuration regarding not removing bans, exempts and such and tends not to auto-op when the auto-op delay is disabled.

2. At times it tends to forget it is in some channels and when the user requests an op from such a channel, it says it is not on that channel, even tho it is obviously there (a -chan +chan helps, but this way the ops are lost)

3. User DCC connections are accepted and work fine, just after a little idle time (say 20 seconds) the connection is silently dropped and the bot is no longer responding trough them and they have to be re-connected. (this is on LAN connection with no firewall configured).

I think I have the latest version of the eggie.

My previous system was RedHat 8 and it had the same problems as now that I have Fedora Core 3 with eggie recompiled to work in it.

Can anyone give me any help as to where to start looking for and fixing problems?

Make sure you have setup the Server configurations properly.

IE if its on IRCNet make sure its set to '1' if i remember correctly

But if its runnng on unreal or ultimate or a different hybrid make sure its set to 'net-type 5' and configure it from there.

This should fix most if not all of your problems.

# What is your network?
# 0 = EFnet
# 1 = IRCnet
# 2 = Undernet
# 3 = DALnet
# 4 = +e/+I/max-modes 20 Hybrid
# 5 = Others
set net-type 1

This is set like this. All problems remain.

I Know this sounds like a dumb question but are you on IRCNet?

Also did you uncomment any of the net-type 5 configuration settings if you are on IRCNet?

Questions 1 & 2 both lead me to wonder if perhaps ur not mistaking exactly what each channel setting does, be sure to read .help chaninfo for more info on channel settings. Question 3 makes me wonder if anyone has ever read the documentation in the ~/docs directory prior to configuring eggdrops why don't you post your settings from your conf file, sans priv info? it would speed up discovery of your root problem
