a guy in a channel i hang out in was telling me about this. i know very very little about it, but it sounds interesting. if anyone else has heard of it, and has any yeah or neah's, i'd definitley be interested in ur points of view... as the idea*numerous bots on one shell pid* interests me.

just a warning - most shell providers explicitaly ban emechs. running them without permission is usually a good way of getting your account cancelled.

will ask my provider about this before i do it. thanks for the warning. i heard that emechs have been used is malicious acts. i'm sure the same can be said about eggdrops too. i mean i know that there are all sorts of clients developed for certain purpouses. flooders, inviters, takeovers.. can ya give me an info on emechs? what or if any sole purposes that have been used in.

Its not so much the fact that emechs can be used to do bad things (because, as you said, so can eggdrop), but the fact that 1 bg process can run lotsa irc connections. Most shells want 1 irc connection per process, to avoid k/d/glines.

yeah he said that he only wanted to see 1 irc connection. if i can find a shell *probably more personalized, smaller company* i might be thinking of wasting my time learning one. for now i'm still stuck on this auto op. thanks

Auto-op?

Why?

There is 99% no need to use auto-op.

The other 1% is if a firewall prevents a botnet connections.

well small private channel scenario, i thought that it woulda been easier then adding individual usrs and such.
1. i got the user made, and hostmasks for everyone
2. flags for the user are set @ +a in that channel.
3. +autoop for channel is set, delay of (zero:zero)

doesnt seem to be working.
i'm the kinda person that if a item doesnt work for me after so many times, i just revert back to the old ways. i dont really feel like posting on this a hundred times just cause i am too unfamiliar with these. the time/keystrokes and headache arent worth it. i DO appreciate the help tho.

Try reading the ".help chaninfo" messages, it will tell you what you need to know about auto-op.

i had some larger flood attacks with emechs and ****ing mirc clientes ( tsunami ). emechs are really bitchy, it isnt funny to see how 60 or 70 bots join your chan like a bunch of bumblebee´s. Now my lil eggys are checking via Ctcp version incoming users

what a client replies as its ctcp is arbitrary (ie it can return whatever it damn well likes). anyone who was really trying to mess with your chans would not leave 'energymech+lamofloodhacks' etc in their version reply.

emech sucks, eggdrop rocks

Mezzanine, please quit it with the high number of one-line posts. It is bad for the efficiency and quality of the forum. If you want to post lots of short messages of little substance, do it on IRC.
