Check with their ToS and other policies first. You are usually best off emailing their admin or support/sales contact address and asking directly then guessing..

Grab a bitchx emulation script from the tcl archive - there are many that fake the version replies to make it seem the bot is a mirc/bitchx/xchat/etc client.

Also remember that having your net really paranoid can cause you more headaches than sighs of relief in the future. Using three bots per shell like that is a huge hole in your security imo as well. A well executed flood on those couple of shells - even half of them - would render your net basicly us...

Do you get anything over debug console (see .help console if you dont know what it is) about adduser and/or chattr's? What scripts are you using?

If its not linked why even give it ops? Just voice it and forget it.

You could add telnet@<his hostmask> and tell him to telnet to the bot's port if all else fails - but how is he trying to get on the partyline via irc? The first ident message means he passed. He then needs to /ctcp <bot> chat - this should make the bot connect to him. If his firewall blocks that, th...

edit: eh bad link.

Precompiled eggdrops are icky anyway - Why must you get a precompiled one? Most linux boxes that are setup to 'allow' outside code can compile eggdrop fine..

You may have to set the my-ip line. Some shells with multiple addresses (especially with local network addresses) don't let you open connections on some interfaces - such as the default interface if they have a decent number of them on that box. Whatever host the bot is going on irc from try using f...

edit: hmm..cant delete this post.

In case this comes up again - Murf I think abandoned this script. He ignored my repeated attempts to contact him about releasing a patch - I fixed it once and privately released and the second time just said [censored] and released it here as well - Glad to see someone else can stand that horrid par...

Some boards also email mods/users on replies/new topics in areas you are 'watching'. With a bit of twiddling it should be possible for a script to check the mail for content (would be based on the board's config) and give a shout to whatever channel is needed. My idle time is short these days so I w...

I am pretty sure either netbots or another script here supports this, almost. The only thing you may need to edit is the actual mode that is set, most set +i and sometimes +m that I have seen.

You could bind a proc on all deops and check it against the bot's own nick, and if it matches have it privmsg the bot/service "L". If you do not know much about tcl, I suggest you read (at least) the file tcl-commands.doc that can be found in your eggdrop's doc/ directory. This way it can ...

Long live livestats!

I must advise anyone that is tempted to use this on a public shell to think twice. On a 200Mhz (hey, its a beast) freebsd box, with two people having a conversation with +learnall in the channel with the bot, it spikes to nearly 50% cpu load. On a 500Mhz fbsd shell, the cpu load for a small not-so-a...
