Permission Denied

[Clipped]

Hey guys

A little prob I ran into....

When starting the bot It launches into the background..no errors..
It ddnt join channel though so used the -n -m ..

I get

DNS resolved blah.blah to blah.blah.blah.blah
Failed connect to blah.blah.net (Permission denied)

I edited out the ip etc it doesnt actually say blah ..heh

Also this is after a recompile..He joined no probs the other day but today he was having problems.

Another note...Just before the probs started when he tried to link to the hub it said telnet denied due to the fact that his host had cahnged..This is strange because when I resolve the ip hes using it comes back as the proper host but when he attempts to link the host is not the one that resolved to the ip..Does this make sense... heh

ie ip 210.213.156.201 resolves to the.proper.host.net when I resolve it but when the bot did connect to server the ip was correct but when he attempted to link to the hub the hub bot refused the telnet due to being the wrong host.. LOL

This is several issues, which are slighly related, but are caused by different parts of the issue.

The "permission denied" error, looks as if it is coming from the system. It would see that you can't use that IP. This is a "contect the admin" problem.

As for the host issue, it is due to cache records, location and the perception of what you see.

When DNS records are updated, they are not magical, and update the whole world accross, in a matter of seconds.

If they did, then a high percentage of internet traffic, would be nothing but DNS updates.

Aditonaly, DNS records are cached, either localy, at your ISP, or in large caching server that yoru ISP uses themselves.

While the timeout value of a record hasn't passed, that is the only value it will return. This save un-needed requests and filled up bandwidth.

As such, the eggdrop doing the lookup, amy well be using cached or non-cached records, and is returning the error on what it sees.

However, it is likely, that the point where you do the lookup, is obtaining the oposite (IE, egg isn't using cache, but you are).

You can only wait untilt he records have fully propergated after timeout, before everything will correct itself.

Thanks ppslim.

How long should it usually take for the dns to update? Its been 3 days now and still the bot sees the incorrect host also it uses the ip ;Could not resolve your host name using your ip instead etc.

Are these dumb questions ..heh I aint exactly a dns-ip expert heh..
