# This setting allows you to specify the maximum nick-length supported by

set nick-len 16
My question is how can I change this specification without re-booting. I have tried .rehash but it didn't change it, any ideas?

Too my knowledge, simply changing the value of nicklen, then issuesing a .rehash is enough.
If this fails, a .restart or possibly a full restart (.die then start from shell or crontab).
However, as pointed out in a previous thread, what you want, is not nicklen.
nicklen will allow very limited features to interact with long nicknames. It does not allow you to add handles upto the value in length, of nicklen, and it doesn't realy make any noticable differance.
Handlen is the value that needs changing for this. Regardless of how you try it, you would have to re-compile, and fully stop and restart the bot for this to work.
The reason behind this, is because there is no need to change it in a normal environment. You either do use eggdrop on a long nickname network, or you don't. It default to 9, because this is what the RFC states.
HANDLEN changes so much within eggdrop. Including the fact you can only link to bots with the same value for handlen. Formatting of output is changed, as handlen is used to calcualte formatting spaces.
