Yo demond, I did following now:

set raw-log 1 on my HUB and BOT3.

Then I logged into their consoles and set ".console mkcobxsth" which was accepted. When I put ".+bot testbot" at my HUBs console the user is added fine. Then I kill the process of my bot3 with "kill -9 " and restarted BOT3 with "./bot3.botchk" and meanwhile I looked at my console of the HUB where you see following:

[20:26] Lost bot: seksouliara (lost 1 bot and 0 users).
*** Lost bot: seksouliara (lost 1 bot and 0 users)
[20:26] Telnet connection: my.server.com/62729

[20:30] [bot3] po
[20:30] [bot3] pi
[20:30] [bot3] po
[20:30] [bot3] pi
...etc...

The userfile seems to bee transferred to bot3, but when I do a ".match *" on my bot3, the just new created "testbot" does NOT appear!!!

But when doin this same procedure by adding a new user with ".+user testuser" the user appears also on the bot3. It seems that BOT-USERS are NOT REPLICATED to my other bots, and exactly THAT'S MY DAMN PROBLEM which I do not know to solve.

Hope you or someone can help me out here???! BIG TNX IN ADVANCE

what happens when you type .+bot testbot from the hub? or from some of the leafs (but login to all bots first, and set console +th)

Demond, the problem is NOT REALLY THAT THE FLAGS ARE NOT REPLICATED, BUT: The bots do NOT APPEAR in the userlist of bot1, bot2 and bot3. I show you a screenshot:

My HUB:

So far so good? Well, on #mychan only the HUB and BOT1 should bee channel-ops (+o). Autoop is disabled on ANY bot (as you adviced me), I use ChanServ to op my HUB and BOT1.

Now look at the settings of BOT1:

*** Matching '*':

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now do you see that the bots DOES NOT APPEAR in the userlist of bot1, and the same [censored] is with bot2 and bot3... They only contain in their userlists ME and the HUB-BOT. Here also the screenshot of bot2's userlist:

HANDLE PASS NOTES FLAGS LAST
HUB yes 0 bfloN 16:07 (linked)
BOT FLAGS: ghp
HOSTS: *!hubbot@my.server.com
ADDRESS: reverse.dns.of.my.server.com
users: 3335, bots: 3335
Sloop yes 0 fhjlmnoptxPQ 19:21 (partyline)
Saved Console Settings:

Console flags: mkcobxs, Strip flags: -, Echo: yes
Page setting: 0, Console channel: 0
HOSTS: -telnet!*@localhost, Sloop!myident@*.ppp.dialin.net
-telnet!*@loopback

That's what confuses me, should'nt be there also the other bots included in the userlist??? Maybe know you understand what's my problem??!
When I enter ".bots" on my hub's console I see in summary all 4 bots. When I enter ".bottree" I am getting this:

HUB
|-+bot1
|-+bot2
`-+bot3
Average hops: 1.0, total bots: 4

Hope you can help, im a already so frustraded with my [censored] problem

if you have set the userfile sharing in a proper manner, all userflag changes will propagate to all sharing bots, unless you have private-global set to 1, in which case the bots with that setting will reject changes of the flags included in private-globals (read eggdrop.conf carefully)

also (you might not be aware of that, but I'm sure it's mentioned somewhere in the docs and botnet setup manuals), +o botflags are not shared, meaning you need to set those manually on each bot guarding common channel

Keep cool demond,I DID NOT QUALIFY YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS, I said: THIS sucks in generally, because it doesn't work! And exactly THAT'S MY PROBLEM, maybe you did not understand me:

Regardless of the flags I give for the bo2 on my HUB, the hub1 does never has this in his replicated user list. That's why I am looking for a suitable solution to get my problem solved.

hey dude, I've been running eggdrop in botnets when you weren't even in the plans of your parents, so you're not really in position to qualify my recommendations okay?

if you, after reading through the comprehensive docs on the subject, are unable to set up the simplest botnet with proper sharing and flags, you better not run eggdrop at all, at least not linked to another bot

this really sucks man. Furthermore it does not work like you said. I gave the +o flag for bot2 on my hub, but the problem still remains: "The user bot2 does NOT exist on the bot1 userlist. The only way is to enter him manually, but then somehow it will be overwritten be the hub, because the aggressive filesharing.

Can someone help me out here?

in this case, like many others, the trivial solution happens to be optimal and most rational

No,I never did read that before. Maybe you can advice me to a link? But this is regardless my question. It's just a trivial solution to give +o, there has to be another possibility.

didn't you read on these forums 2398423234 times already why autoop is lame and bad? if not, do so

demond, they are all linked with share as I told you. The hub has +gs and my leafs +gp

But I cannot give bot2 the +o flag on my hubs user list, because then bot2 will be auto-opped, and I don't want him to have ops. My Hub is doing autoop because +autoop is enabled. And I have to keep that.

How can I force my leafs to know each other with the +f flag??

if you have multiple bots guarding one channel, link them all with share and then give +o flag to each (the flag will be automatically replicated)

Hello there, I do not understand that, maybe I am thinking completely wrong way

I have a hub (HUB), and three leafs(bot1,bot2,bot3). On the hub I have 2 users which I created manually, additionally to the 3 leaf bots which of course have to exist on my hubs user list.

I am using allfloodprotection on hub and bot1, and the exempts are for users with flag 'f' or 'o' or 'm'. My problem is:

The bot2 should not have +o but I want him to have +f. So I connected with DCC to my Hub and looked at my user list with ".match *" and my bot2 is in there with the +f flag. But bot1 runs also the allfloodprotection and he kicks/bans my bot2, because in the userlist of "bot2" the "bot3" is not in there. In general I can't find the botnames of my botnet in bot2 and bot3, they only exist in the userlist of the hub. I thought that all linked bots should have +f and know each other. Shouldn't I see all the bots in every bot's user list?? Only the hub shows up fine everything, the leaf bots only contain the HUB name in their userlist, what about the other bots? How can I give all my botnet +f each other so they know each other?

Do I have to create on bot2 and bot3 manually users .+hub and .+bo1 and give them +f ??? This sounds not a fine solution. Can someone help please?
