botnet nick set in config no pass?

Maybe i'm doing this wrong, i have created a "limbo" bot to use for a hub and i have followed the directions on it but im not sure whether im supposed to type 'NEW' after i start it, because the setup says to set a "botnet-nick" but if i set that nick after i telenet or relay directly to the bot it asks for a nick and password but i dont have a password for the botnet-nick so it kicks me off what am i doing wrong?

A botnet nick it's like the word is , its the nick used by the bot in a botnet.
The name off the bot on the IRC network can be different.

If you start a eggdrop, first you have too set you as a the owner, by typing /msg eggdropname hello.
Then you set your password here.

When you telnet the bot, he's first asking your name, this is the name you had when youre were set as an owner. the password is the one you set after being set as an owner.

This al is explained, in the egghelp faq

Hope this is what you need too know

i finally have all the bots connected to the hub, but i was wondering if there is a command to .restart <botnick> from the hub bot? instead of having to log into every bots console to restart it

you need rconsole

i got rconsole.. put it on the leafs an hubs there is only 3 commands?

wrong infocmd, must be one of: os,up,rc

if i did .rci botnick rc it says the rconsole but if i type .restart it restarts the hub and not the bot i want, am i using the command wrong?

you need the .rc command, not .rci

you first log into the leaf by using .rc <bot>, then you can issue any command in that leaf's rconsole by using .rc <bot> .command [text], for example .rc leafbot .rehash

ok i got that now it goes to the leaf bot an then says nickname, but doesnt ask for my password, so i typed .rc leaf .rehash and it says <leaf> you dont have access.

you reply to the "Nickname." prompt with your nickname using the very same .rc command format: .rc leafbot yournick

then rconsole will ask for password, do it again in the same fashion, I hope you figured it out already
