making botnicks autoop each other in botnet

I just setup my botnet which consists of 2 botnicks. How do I make one botnick OP each other automatically when one of the botnicks is not opped? This should be safe since the botnicks knows for sure the other botnick belongs in the same botnet, right? Thanks

Check the getops.tcl script from the scripts/ dir.

.chattr <botnick> +a (for global) or .chattr <botnick> +a [channel] for channel specific. With only two bots, no need for scripts in my view.

hmm well i totally disagree with you alchera... a script is much more secure...Your way you are just opping a hostmask.. no password required.. how do you know you are not just opping someone on a bnc from that shell? Hmm but then again this might just be my opinion.. personally i think autoops is a rather silly risk...( for bots or for users)

I agree, opping by hostmask is not safe which is one of the reasons why I want to use an eggdrop. Otherwise, I can just use mirc to auto-op/voice.

I should explain ... I have 14 bots linked on DALnet and two only do the auto-op and only in 2 channels. One channel is restricted ie: all the bots are parked in there and no-one else can gain access. The two bots that do the opping are not on the same provider. Bot #2 is on a private (internal) box and, apart from the Admin, I am the only person with access to it. They auto-op all bots in the restricted channel. In the other channel, which is public, these two only op each other as they are the channel bots; the other 12 bots are given +v only. I also have 6 unique user accounts spead amongst them. In my particular circumstances an opping script, of which I have yet to find one that doesn't cause a drama, is not appropriate. Also, I allow no partlyline access to any user except the bot owners, of which there are 3 including myself. I am the permanent owner of all bots, the other two are not.

User access is via a public commands script only! And for the bots that are loaned, channel founders and SOp's have to verify their pass to access various commands.

PS:
One trick we came across with the new version eggdrop is the use of nick!*@* as the host. The bot will not recognise the user until *after* they actually swap nicks and identify (kind of neat). I use this in my channel for some opped users because they use cyber cafe's.

hmm well i still stand by my statement.. you advised the guy to use +a for bots.. when there are scripts out there for the purpose of making bots op each other rather safely.. because its pretty safe to assume not everyone you give advice to on this board will have the same setup you do.. not to mention in your setup i personally would still use a getops type script

I realy7 have to agree that that +a is not safe and use getops or something
