I have a small eggdropnet and sometimes when I .restart one of the leafs it loses the +o chattr flag in its userfile.. they're set to +blfoN and I'm using netbots.tcl with botnetop loaded. It afflicts a few of the leafs... just after they die and restart they lose that single flag in their user files. Anyone else suffered this dilemma or know of a reason/fix for it?

Thanks, Time.

try this:
get all the bots linked, with proper flags set, then use ".netsave" on the partyline

Nope, just tried. Still happens.

You're talking about Eggdrop's userfile sharing, not netbots.tcl. They have little to do with one another. The only time netbots interferes with sharing, if I recall correctly, is when an insufficiently privleged user attempts to use the .chattr command to add the netbot flag to a user.

I included that I used netbots.tcl in case it was a known bug. But makes sense that it has nothing to do with it. The sharing works mostly, i.e. updating a userfile on the hub and the leaf sees it, but then when .restarting the leaf it loses the +o global chattr flag... and the person using .chattr has sufficient privileges... since its an owner.

Take a look at your leaf(s) config, check this setting:

set private-globals "mnot"

As you can see in the above, the flags "mnot' are filtered/stripped as the users file is xfered to the leaf(s).
