So, when I try to dcc chat with my bot it ignores me. Actually, it says access denied. Here is what the partyline shows:

[TCL_no_TK]

what eggdrop version are you using? Also, is this to with /dcc chat <eggdrop nickname> or /ctcp <eggdrop nickname> CHAT or both? and you can still telnet into the bot to get onto the partyline?

Might be the simple fact that...

Speechles,
Though you're right on the first one, the second one is a perfect match to his irc identity. Wildcards such as * are not mandatory.

Though, this is most likely a hostmask issue.

Marvz,
Could you issue the .channels command while in telnet'd to the bot, and in the same channel as the bot on irc?
That should show you a list of all channel attendants, along with the handle the bot recognizes them by..

speechles,
A mask may contain wildcards, but a literal string would also qualify as a mask.

Much simplified, the matching is done on a character by character basis, where each entity in the mask must be present in the matched string (nick!user@host) in the same sequence, and where * matches 0 or more characters, ? matches exactly 1 character, and probably a few other wildcards I've forgotten about.

Though this is yet to be confirmed, my suspicions are that there's a low-privilege user with a hostmask that also matches marvz, which has taken precedence. Thus marvz is seen as this user and not marvs, granting the wrong set of privileges.

this is the message using the .channels command via telnet:

[nml375]

Well, it seems your eggdrop does recognize you properly.

One remote possibility; could you list all the ignores (using .ignores), and see that there's no ignore matching you there?

Since he can telnet into bot, would it not be worth it - a quick and easy little experiment - to try
.adduser
command on himself, while he is in the channel?

Follow it up, with another .whois and/or .match , to see if it changed anything in his listed HOSTS?

... just to be sure ... ?

.ignores results:

here is the log:

@willy,
blah@*.somewhere.net will not work as a hostmask, as it does not match nick!blah@host1.somewhere.net. Still, it should not prevent the *!blah@*.somewhere.net hostmask (later added) from working.

Both the .channel listing, and the shown user records does indicate that the eggdrop has no problems whatsoever to identify marvz within the channel, so the current records should work.

Though, just to double-check one thing:
@marvz,
Remove all but the -telnet!*@* hostmask, and re-issue the .channel command. Look for the line with your nickname, and tell me if it's followed by a * or a different handle-name?
