Hi, i have an eggdrop and i get this problem...i'm the owner and my user is tizio (let's say my mask is *!tizio@*.telecom-italia.it); now if i change the user field in xchat and put the one of another user (let'say caio) who is registered in the bot userlist, i am identified as caio (in the case we have the same isp, i mean).

Is it right?
I find this behaviour not correct.
Is there a way to make eggdrop check the users flags before opping them?
For users flags i mean, for example the r flag wich nickserv assign to registered nicks upon connecting to the server. in this case i may use hostmasks such as tizio!tizio@*someisp.xx and have my eggdrop waiting before opping and being sure that tizio is the right registered user and not someone else trying to get opped.

I know that it's not so clear...so excuse me, but i'm italian.
Thanks

I'd recommend using a differant hostmask then in the userfile. So the bot will identify only you, i wouldn't see adding more hostmask's that will allow you to use differant hostmasks or something would cause a problem. Hopefully the following will be helpful to you http://www.egghelp.org/enhance.htm#security

Thanks for the tip
Reading that stuff i see this:

Unless your Eggdrop is on a small, private channel which does not get many visitors you do not know, using auto-op greatly increases the risk of channel takeover. This is because, in order to get ops, a person only needs to match a hostmask of a user, and idents/hostnames can often be faked on IRC. It is best to make sure that users can only get ops after giving their password to the bot, typically by sending a /msg to the bot to request ops.

What is the /msg command to request op from eggdrop ?
