Hello!
I've ran in to a wall now....
I rebooted my server, got a new IP. And edited my .conf.
I start with ./eggdrop *.conf and now everything runs down well and no errors reported. But my bot doesn't enter my channels so I start to wonder... something is wrong. I try to telnet to the bot but the telnet line is blank. No question for username or password. I tried to disable all .tcl scripts but no effect.
Anybody who might know whats up with my bot?

Eggdrop start... but no, it doesn't respond.
Search on the keyword "threaded tcl" and you'll find quite a few topics regarding this on the forum.
Basic summary tho, your tcl-library is compiled with pthreads, wich does not work well with eggdrop's use of fork() to launch into background. There is a fix to this included in the source, and it should be included automatically if threaded tcl is detected.
However, with some recent binary tcl packages (Fedora rpm's, etc), this does not work as intended.
One thing that has worked earlier is to uninstall your rpm/deb/etc tcl-package, download source from www.tcl.tk, and compile/install it yourself and compile your eggdrop against this library instead.
The actual cause for this issue is to my best knowledge yet unknown.
