You can try these methods:
1. add to yourself a host -telnet!*@* to use telnet from everywhere
2. We say that your dynamic host looks like dynamic-18.somehost.com You can add to yourself a host *!Ident@*.somehost.com
3. You can add to yourself by nick: Nick!*@*
4. You can add to yourself by ident: *!ident@*

Adding nick!*@* or *!ident@* is very insecure and is never recommended. You simply need to telnet to your bot and add your new host to your handle. Another things to look at are the private ident and addhost commands in the .conf file.

# Many takeover attempts occur due to lame users blindly /msg ident'ing to
# the bot and attempting to guess passwords. We now unbind this command by
# default to discourage them. You can enable these commands by commenting the
# following two lines.
unbind msg - ident *msg:ident
unbind msg - addhost *msg:addhost

Read the comments carefuly, you've been warned.

but in what lines do i add my nick with host in?
and how the format should be like this:
add ~chubby@*.telenor.net

Code: Select all

.+host chubbychub *!chubby@*.telenor.net

If u are using a 9 handle eggdrop, u handle have to be only 9 chars long and u eggdrop will cut u nick to chubbychu . Just telnet or dcc to u bot and try:

Code: Select all

.+host chubbychu *!chubby@*.telenor.net

oh.. you mean thru dcc chat.. i thought it was the conf file that i was supposed to add. I can't dcc chat to it now since it dont recognizes me.
how else can i add myself in? someone on irc told me to telnet in but i dunno how and he wasn't specific and didn't tell me more than that. thaks in advance.
do i need to edit a new conf file , msg hello , then add my host ? is there a way to get around making a new conf file?

telnet <my-ip> <listen-port>

this is the same as DCC chat, <my-ip> is the my-ip setting in your config and <listen-port> is the port you specify in the config (example: listen 3333 all)

Another solution would be to delete the .user file and restart the bot, then you can /msg <bot> hello again.

when i ssh into the shell and remover the bot.user file, with this command: rm bot.user
then ls
i dont see the file but when i restart the bot the file appears agian
why??

Because you are supposed to kill the bot for a start and then delete BOTH .user and .user~bak

ok.. i got it to work and to recognized me
by adding the host.. but i need it to add this command in:
.+host *chubby*
now it works.. but i dunno what that command does if someone could tell me plz. someone on irc told me to do that.

.+host *chubby*!*@* and now anybody that has 'chubby' in his nick can access your eggdrop, good luck

they will need to know my password to be able to dcc chat with them right? if they dont get the right password.. it will drop the connection.. is this correct?
