Actually, using geteggdrop.com is safe, as it is simply a redirection domain that's been in use by eggheads since 2002:ish, and should always redirect to the latest released version of eggdrop on a mirror close to you.

Obviously, it's always a good idea to verify the MD5:sums and gpg-signatures no matter where you downloaded it from.

Yup! I was actually unaware of that redirection until it was recently brought to my attention.

Get the source from the original author's site: http://eggheads.org

Don't trust any 3rd party for compiled binaries or source code, as its all too easy to stick backdoors into them.

I'm using Gentoo and eggdrop is in Portage (packages system of Gentoo) but i don't use this one. I have downloaded eggdrop from geteggdrop.com via wget command and installed it.

Hi dellthinker,

To change the nick len, you have to:

- goto the eggdropx.x.xx/src directory (where x.x.xx is the version)
- open eggdrop.h file and find this

Code:

#define HANDLEN 9   /* valid values 9->NICKMAX  */

- change 9 to the values you want
- save changes
- recompile eggdrop
- restart

Hi all, im trying to add users but the problem is that the nick len is shortened. So for example, if i tried to add a nick like BlueSkyBlue2001 it'll only add BlueSky, if not that. Is there a way to raise the length? Thanx in advance!
