Cracked my egg

That would be the "username" setting in your config-file (since you appear not to be running an ident-service on the system).

The username is set, but nobody said anything about a ident-service?

So how do i install the ident-service ?

[nml375]

An ident-service is not mandatory. If such a service is running on the client's host however, most irc servers will use this to query the username of the connecting client, and use the result for the user@host.tld part of the online identity.

If there is no ident-service however, most irc servers will use whatever name the client provided as <username> when sending the "USER" command during registration. The value eggdrop sends during registration is controlled by the username setting.

If you'd like to install an ident-service on your system, install the appropriate package using yum or any other package manager (I would generally recommend oidentd or identd)

Every thing is where its supposed to be and now this **** **** ****

The lack of any other errors would suggest that your eggdrop is not able to open the config-file. Did you change anything since you got your eggdrop up'n'running? If you edited your config-file, have you double-checked the file ownership and permissions (file owned by overwatch and user has read-permissions at a minimum)?

Question:
Why use:
./eggdrop -m /home/overwatch/overwatch.conf

instead of just:
./eggdrop -m overwatch.conf
?


Does it behave the same, if you try it without the full path?

[arfer]

Alternatively the path could be incorrect

Try the bash command pwd

Maybe it should be /usr/home/overwatch/overwatch.conf

In any event, it is normal to do what willyw suggests in the post above
