I got my eggdrop setup a few hours ago and at first I messaged it and said hello. The password was set and it started working alright. Then I switched networks and deleted my userfile. Upon reconnecting I couldn't message the bot hello and nothing happend.. right now I'm locked out from direct bot access (Have SSH access). Is there some sort of tutorial that shows you how to create a manual userfile?

Edit - Did a bit more digging, and I reckon that the DCC not working must be a result of the .user file:

Here's what the bot sees when I try to DCC:

Here's how you should manage your userfile: http://www.egghelp.org/using.htm#userfile

If /dcc chat does not work, yet /ctcp chat does, it means one or more of the following issues:

• Your irc client does not know it's address on the internet.
  
• Your irc client is behind a filtering router or firewall, that blocks incoming connections to your irc client
  
• Eggdrop tries to compare your irc host with the IP provided in your /dcc chat request, if these does not match, eggdrop thinks it's a fraud and does not attempt to connect.

Looking at your long-ip details (20923408104 in the CTCP DCC: CHAT message), are you by any chance using IPv6? That number is way too big to fit into the IPv4 namespace.
