Hi all, im trying to add users but the problem is that the nick len is shortened. So for example, if i tried to add a nick like BlueSkyBlue2001 it'll only add BlueSky, if not that. Is there a way to raise the length? Thanx in advance!

Hi dellthinker,

To change the nick len, you have to:

- goto the eggdropx.x.xx/src directory (where x.x.xx is the version)
- open eggdrop.h file and find this

Thanx for your reply DarkRaptor, however since im using Debian as my distro i installed the debian package of eggdrop, and cant find eggdrop.h anywhere, any other solutions?

I'm using Gentoo and eggdrop is in Portage (packages system of Gentoo) but i don't use this one. I have downloaded eggdrop from geteggdrop.com via wget command and installed it.

Get the source from the original author's site: http://eggheads.org

Don't trust any 3rd party for compiled binaries or source code, as its all too easy to stick backdoors into them.

wget ftp://ftp.eggheads.org/pub/eggdrop/source/1.6/eggdrop1.6.18.tar.gz

Actually, using geteggdrop.com is safe, as it is simply a redirection domain that's been in use by eggheads since 2002:ish, and should always redirect to the latest released version of eggdrop on a mirror close to you.

Obviously, it's always a good idea to verify the MD5:sums and gpg-signatures no matter where you downloaded it from.
