Question 1: Sounds like you are using auto-op, which is (IMHO) a very large security risk! Even with weak hostmasks, you can make eggdrop more secure, by not using auto-op, using strong user passwords and telling your users to use the "/msg <bot> op <password>" method.

Question 2: This has nothing to do with language files, it is a high bit character problem, see this post for more information

strdarg, any news on the fixed up patch for that.

As far as I know, that patch doesn't need any fixing. You don't even need the patch, just get the latest cvs version of 1.6.

True, but I thought you might have re-created the patch, for those that do not wish to use the CVS server.

and don't forget, sometimes the cvs version of egg is broken in some respects, so you definatly don't wanna be running a critical bot with it.
