hey

I've got a problem, every time I have to restart my bots, or they reconnect for some reason, the hub bot keeps adding the address of the other bots (As they're all the same) on ignore...

<^TWiNBoT^> [15:45] Telnet connection flood from -telnet!telnet@my-hostname.com! Placing on ignore!

I have to remove the ignore manually or wait for it to expire, is there some way I can add this as like a trusted address?

I'm supprised the bot doesn't work out that the address is its own really,


any ideas? or would this require a simple script to remove the ignore when its placed?

There are two config file settings that can help.

set telnet-flood 5:60 (5 connects in 60 secs is considered flood, and so it puts the host on ignore.. play with it to suit your needs)

set paranoid-telnet-flood 0 (1 or 0, if its 0 then it wont put someone on ignore who has the flag +f)


Also type .help *telnet* To get an indepth on these settings.
