Bot Net Building

[Fluxizm]

Having a bit of trouble linking my 2 bots.. These bots sit on different networks, but r running off the same shell account.
This is what I did on the hub bot;
.+bot |iUK|Boss
.chattr |iUK|Boss +fo
.botattr |iUK|Boss +gs

Then on the leaf bot;
.+bot |iUK|aimbot just.another.shell.account:50182
.chattr |iUK|aimbot +fo
.botattr |iUK|aimbot +pgh

Both the names specified are the actual names used by the bots on irc, the port is also correct.

But here is the partyline output from |iUK|Boss;
[00:10] <|iUK|Boss> [00:10] DNS resolved just.another.shell.account to 217.10.*.*
[00:10] <|iUK|Boss> [00:10] @#iuk (+ptn) : [m/4 o/4 h/0 v/0 n/0 b/0 e/- I/-]
[00:10] <|iUK|Boss> [00:10] net: connect! sock 3
[00:10] <|iUK|Boss> [00:10] DNS resolved 217.10.*.* to just.another.shell.account
[00:10] <|iUK|Boss> [00:10] Telnet connection: just.another.shell.account/36481
[00:10] <|iUK|Boss> [00:10] net: connect! sock 10
[00:10] <|iUK|Boss> [00:10] Refused fred@just.another.shell.account (invalid handle: |iUK|Boss)

Why is it specifying its own handle as being invalid? What have I done wrong? Does the problem lie in trying to connect 2 bots running off the same shell? Any and all help, will as ever be appreciated

check conf of |iUK|aimbot
find set botnet-nick
setting it's prolly |iUK|Boss and you added it as |iUK|aimbot
if you wanna bots use the same nicks as on irc on botnet just comment botnick setting if otherwise you can specify there whatever you want. For example when in bot's conf it set botnet-nick "Bot1" and set nick "bottie" you add it .+bot bot1 not bottie.

Still no joy, the set botnet nick was commented out already in bot conf files. I tried specifying the botnet nicks too, this didnt work either. Both bots have +shared set with loadmodule share and transfer enabled. I have chaged the listen ports to 5555 for users and 6666 for bots, still no joy. Also using .link doesnt work, I get an error..

[20:05] <|iUK|Boss> [20:05] #gnee# link |iUK|AimB
[20:05] <|iUK|Boss> [20:05] Linking to |iUK|AimB at just.another.shell:6666 ...
[20:05] <|iUK|Boss> *** [|iUK|Boss] Couldn't link to |iUK|AimB.
[20:05] <|iUK|Boss> [20:05] Failed link to |iUK|AimB.

Has anyone got any more ideas for me please?

Changing the linking ports will have no effect.

You will need to kill the bot, and start it. not just a .rehash or .restart.

This is due to settings that can't be changed after the bot has loaded.

Heh, if i am not misstaking, your hub bot is actually |iUK|Boss (or whatever the lame handle it has). I get this from the error that says that iUKBoss is refusing link because that bot that tried to link has invalid handle for the reason that such handle allready exist. Umm, before i continue making less and less sense, just tell us what do you think are the handles of your hub and leaf bots.
