egdropp linking problem (bad password)

2001-11-10T21:37:00-04:00

Hm, guess that was a newbie mistake

one of the bots was compiled with a different max nicklength.
I changed that and now linking them is no problem.

same problem here... I have 4 bots, 2 on Linux, 2 on Win2k/XP. The Linuxbots link each other. The Winbots cannot link to the hub (linux) because of a password error. The only solution I have is to re-add the bots on the hub... does anybody have a better solution?

A problem that i've run into which involves bots not linking at 'Challenging' is when they're behind a firewall of some sort (typically NAT). If their port isn't set to forward, it won't link. The only way around it is to have the administrator of the firewall you're behind open the bot's port.
just my 2 cents.

Hi,

Well, even im not SO used to UNIX but i know a bit. Maybe this will help you.

Code:

 uname -a

This will give you the OS,etc.

Usually the OS and details come up when you telnet to the box.

Hi

Well, now they try to link, but they also stuck at the challenge phase .
As far as I can see, they are running on Linux 2.4 and 2.2.19.
Sorry, I didn't get used to Unix very well yet, is there any command to find out on what kind and version of OS they are running ?

thanks guys.

Hi,

I had this same problem about an year ago. And guppy had a say on this. What he thought was there's something to do with the OS of the shell that has to do with the password. And he said that some makes of *BSD are giving problems like these.

Anyway, the shell with which i had the problem was ghostweb. And it got sorted after they did an OS upgrade. I suggest you find out the OS type, Machine stats and post it here for guppy to see. It may get you the right help.

Did you try setting a password, or did you clear it?

Also, did you do the .chpass on all bots?

Hi,
I have 2 egddrops running on different shells and 1 from my LAN.
If I try to link either bot a-b, b-c or c-a they set a passsword for each other, but they dont link. They start a telnetconnection but this connection get always closed due to a "Bad Password".
I tried .chpass on the bots, linking them using .link or just setting them up as 1 hub and 2 leafs. All bots are 1.6.6 .
Any ideas?
