Eggdrop adds deleted flags again

[cerberus_gr]

Hello,

I have a user in my eggdrop with handle xxxx. I added him a month ago, with +n global flag, +n to #chan1 and +m to #chan2. A week before i removed all global flags and i gave him only +p global flag, but i kept channel flags. After some hours I saw that he had +n flag again, even if i have done .save. I'm trying a week now to give him only +p flag, but some hours ago, flags are +n. Why does this happens?
I have to say that I am the only owner in this bot and it 's not linked with any other.

This is a log:

Code: Select all

[18:16:12] <Botnick> Global flags for xxxx are now +p.
[18:16:27] <Me> .save
[18:16:28] <Botnick> Saving user file...
[18:17:44] <Me> .match xxxx
[18:17:45] <Botnick> *** Matching 'xxxx':
[18:17:45] <Botnick> HANDLE                           PASS NOTES FLAGS           LAST
[18:17:45] <Botnick> xxxx                             yes      0 p               18:00 (#chan2)
[18:17:45] <Botnick>                          #chan1             lmo             14:13

Some hours later:
[05:21:26] <Botnick> *** Matching 'xxxx':
[05:21:26] <Botnick> HANDLE                           PASS NOTES FLAGS           LAST

[05:21:26] <Botnick>                          #chan1             lmo             02:53
[05:21:26] <Botnick>                          #chan2             flmo            02:53

Simple solution is to just delete him alltogether ".-user <handle>" and then re-add with correct flags.

You could also double check your conf for the "set owner" options and default flags.

Thx for the reply.

$owner is only me
default flags are ""

Thx for the reply.

There's nothing to worry about, just READ the guidelines mention in your '.conf' file, have a look:

Code: Select all

# Enter the flags that all new users should get by default. See '.help whois'
# on the partyline for a list of flags and their descriptions.
set default-flags ""

Just enter the flags which you wish to set as default flags, example:

Code: Select all

set default-flags "fo"

more type '.help whois' in the partyline and read the flags descriptions.

Your default flags are ok although many scripts use +f to determine who not to punish.

[cerberus_gr]

Thx for replies both of you.

I know what default flags are. I have my bot for 3 years. I want default-flags to be "", because sometimes I add people with other global flags. In bot databse, I have spammers too , so I don't want to have +f flag as default.

This person (xxxx) today has +n global flag again. I don't know what else I could do

The only thing I could though is unix permissions to .user* files but these are rwx for me.

Which is the problem over here?

Thx

Is a weird one that I have never come across before. Attributes for both the .user and .chan files are 600. You can check that and reset if needed and then try removing those flags again and then wait.

If all that fails then do as I suggested earlier, delete the user and re-add.

[cerberus_gr]

Yes this is weird and it's the first time i see something like this too
I'll try to delete him and add him again and i'll tell you tomorrow

Thx for your time
