encrypted user file

Post by spectrum »

hello all,

i've chosed to encrypt the user file with blowfish. Now i have the need to remove a owner (+n) flag from a user. I've try from PL with chattr user -n but it have no effect, the flag list of the user remain the same.

How can i edit the encrypted user file and change the flag ?

Where is the encrypted user file stored ?

Another thing i don'0t understand, is that I only see the file.user in the eggdrop dorectory, and it is re-generated at bot startup, but if i change something inside, ad next reload it come as it was before.

Thanks angelo

Permanent owners cannot be removed via the Command Console.

eggdrop.conf:
# Un-comment the next line and set the list of owners of the bot.
# You NEED to change this setting.
#set owner "MrLame, MrsLame"

user files have backup copies made automatically in the shell. If you change anything in the eggdrop.user file, you will need to remove/delete the eggdrop.user~bak file as well before relaunching your bot.

...also, the userfile is kept in memory while your bot is running and may be saved when you kill your bot (depending on how it dies), and IS saved when you .rehash or .restart, so changes made while the bot is running, are likely to be overwritten.
Have you ever read "The Manual"?
