Unable to DCC Chat and Bot Ignores all commands

[marvz]

So, when I try to dcc chat with my bot it ignores me. Actually, it says access denied. Here is what the partyline shows:

Code: Select all

[22:53] Refused DCC chat (no access): marvz!pedro@netadmin.irc4lyf.com
[22:53] CTCP CHAT: CHAT 1199572234 5101 from marvz (pedro@netadmin.irc4lyf.com)

[22:55] [marvz!pedro@netadmin.irc4lyf.com] Pending DCC. 30 secs to timeout
[22:56] [marvz!pedro@netadmin.irc4lyf.com] DCC timed out

This is the result when I do a whois/match:

Code: Select all

*** Matching 'marvz':
HANDLE                           PASS NOTES FLAGS           LAST
marvz                            yes      0 hjlmnoptx       22:53 (partyline)
  HOSTS: *!marvz@*.irvnca.pacbell.net, -telnet!*@*
         *!pedro@east.LA, *!marvz@*.irc4lyf.com
         marvz@netadmin.irc4lyf.com
         marvz!pedro@netadmin.irc4lyf.com

I have access to the partyline with no problem. but when I try to dcc chat It times out. I didn't have this problem until a few days ago. Before this I was able to dcc chat with no problem. the ports are all set up correctly for dcc/telnet connections.

I must mention though, when I try to use the quote script it also ignores me , but when I use the fml quote script it works fine. other users can use the scripts with no problems. It seems that the problem is with me. Just throwing that out there in case it might have something to do with that.

As usual, thanks in advance and any hlp is appreciated.

what eggdrop version are you using? Also, is this to with /dcc chat <eggdrop nickname> or /ctcp <eggdrop nickname> CHAT or both? and you can still telnet into the bot to get onto the partyline?

[speechles]

Might be the simple fact that...

Code: Select all

         marvz@netadmin.irc4lyf.com
         marvz!pedro@netadmin.irc4lyf.com 

These aren't hostmasks. Betcha you need to mask these for them to work. Try something like:

Code: Select all

         marvz!*@netadmin.irc4lyf.com

[nml375]

Speechles,
Though you're right on the first one, the second one is a perfect match to his irc identity. Wildcards such as * are not mandatory.

Though, this is most likely a hostmask issue.

Marvz,
Could you issue the .channels command while in telnet'd to the bot, and in the same channel as the bot on irc?
That should show you a list of all channel attendants, along with the handle the bot recognizes them by..

[speechles]

Speechles,
Though you're right on the first one, the second one is a perfect match to his irc identity. Wildcards such as * are not mandatory.

<speechles> .help +host
<sp33chy> ### +host [handle] <hostmask>
<sp33chy> Adds a hostmask to a user's user record. Hostmasks are used to identify your
<sp33chy> handle on IRC. If a handle is not specified, the hostmask will be added to
<sp33chy> YOUR user record.
<sp33chy> See also: -host

Are you sure? Because it specifically says mask. A mask would imply it isn't the same as the exact host, part of it needs to be masked.

[nml375]

speechles,
A mask may contain wildcards, but a literal string would also qualify as a mask.

Much simplified, the matching is done on a character by character basis, where each entity in the mask must be present in the matched string (nick!user@host) in the same sequence, and where * matches 0 or more characters, ? matches exactly 1 character, and probably a few other wildcards I've forgotten about.

Though this is yet to be confirmed, my suspicions are that there's a low-privilege user with a hostmask that also matches marvz, which has taken precedence. Thus marvz is seen as this user and not marvs, granting the wrong set of privileges.

[marvz]

this is the message using the .channels command via telnet:

I'm using eggdrop v1.6.19+ctcpfix. I am able to telnet to the bot with no problem. i has to do with both /dcc chat <eggdrop nickname> or /ctcp <eggdrop nickname> CHAT. It also does it with a legoman's quote script sometimes now. I thought it might be related to the script but when I restart/rehash the bot ater commenting out the script it still does the same thing. So I really don't know what else to try or do in this case.

[nml375]

Well, it seems your eggdrop does recognize you properly.

One remote possibility; could you list all the ignores (using .ignores), and see that there's no ignore matching you there?

[willyw]

Since he can telnet into bot, would it not be worth it - a quick and easy little experiment - to try
.adduser
command on himself, while he is in the channel?

Follow it up, with another .whois and/or .match , to see if it changed anything in his listed HOSTS?

... just to be sure ... ?

Experimenting on a test bot of mine now.
I can't exactly duplicate what you are experiencing, yet. But I'm close.

If I use a hostmask like this:
blah@*.something.somewhere.net
bot will react the same as it did with you. I watched, while logged in to partyline via telnet. "no access"

Next, I used .adduser on myself, and bot added me with hostmask like this:
*!blah@*.something.somewhere.net
and then, I could dcc chat the bot once again.
Apparently, the bot does want to see that leading *!

But, you said the bot already knew you, when you tried the .adduser command. That's interesting.

Still fiddling around here, experimenting.....

In the meantime, if you are safely logged in via telnet - you might want to .-host all but the one that applies to telnet... be sure to leave it.
Check to be sure they are gone, with .whois
*Then* when you try .adduser on yourself, it should pick you up, and add your hostmask.
Check again with .whois to see what it added. Then test again, by trying to log in via DCC.

I don't think we've seen:

before.

What happens when you try to log in via DCC now?

[nml375]

@willy,
blah@*.somewhere.net will not work as a hostmask, as it does not match nick!blah@host1.somewhere.net. Still, it should not prevent the *!blah@*.somewhere.net hostmask (later added) from working.

Both the .channel listing, and the shown user records does indicate that the eggdrop has no problems whatsoever to identify marvz within the channel, so the current records should work.

Though, just to double-check one thing:
@marvz,
Remove all but the -telnet!*@* hostmask, and re-issue the .channel command. Look for the line with your nickname, and tell me if it's followed by a * or a different handle-name?

[willyw]

...
so the current records should work.

cool.

ahhh... you had mentioned this earlier. It will be interesting to see what he posts.

Thanks
