Botnet - help! user flags change :(

philbob · Post by **philbob** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 12:23 pm

Basically - i have a simple botnet, all bots share their user files using +g bot flags.
How ever - when the hub bot is rebooted, all the leaf bots loose their global +o flags 4 other bots. Leavin my botnet cripled until i set .chattr botnick +o on all the bots again!

Ive tried doin /save on all the bots be4 the hub restarts - still same prob.
Any ideas - i know this has gotta b a simple setting somewhere.

Hi

The problem might be in 'private-global' and 'private-globals' settings. Check them, they prevent (if left on default settings) transfering global flags omn. So when the leaf gets the userfile from the hub, he's probably discarding the global flags.

And what when a Hub sends the userfile and makes the leaf lose its record of the hub?

because the hub doesnt have a userrecord of itself.
