User access to bot via telnet and IRC

[quantum0726]

Hi, I had my bot set up to respond to my nick on IRC for doing commands such as rehash. In order to get a ruby script to work through reby, I needed to enable the .tcl command, but decided to keep that via telnet only. After some messing around I managed to get the bot to respond to me via telnet and the ruby script works perfectly. Unfortunately the bot no longer responds to me via IRC. I'm assuming the problem is with the .user file, but I'm not sure. Here's my .user file:

Code: Select all

#4v: eggdrop v1.6.17+Gentoo -- channel -- written Sun Mar 19 22:00:00 2006
jayson     - jlmnoptx                
! #channel           1142012092 -          
--HOSTS jayson!n=jayson@*
--HOSTS telnet!*@localhost
--XTRA created 1141441732
--PASS ******
--LASTON 1142826807 partyline
::#channel bans
&&#channel exempts
$$#channel invites

I've tried using an explicit dns name for the host as well as the wildcard shown above, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas on what could be wrong or can the bot owner not have more than one host?

DALnet - f
--HOSTS *!services@dal.net
--LASTON 1141855591 #homec
--XTRA created 987864216
--PASS ******

Hosts should be in the format as above i.e. *!user@host.domain OR *!*user@host.domain

What you have is incorrect. Kill your bot, manually edit your user file with pico/vi correcting your host(s) and restart your bot after saving and deleting the .user~bak file.

NB: To get your correct host simply /whois yourself on IRC.
