Eggdrop Ping Times out

Hmm... that would rule out blocking dns-queries :/

If possible, it would be helpful if you could run your eggdrop through gdb, and do a bt (backtrace) when the hang occurs.

Nothing suspicious there and frankly I think the relation between this user and the timeout is just coincidental. Did you try unloading your Tcl scripts and see if the problem persists?

I thought that too but then i had him join and part a few times and everytime he joined the bot would ping time out.

Could you tell me wether you are using the dns-module?

Yes i'm using the dns module

Rev@.cfl.res.rr.com

That's not a valid host name, but an error like that should not crash eggdrop. Someone a bit more into C than myself might be able to determine if a host name starting with a dot would cause a crash.

No error messages or weird messages in the bot's console or in the logs. As soon as he joins the chan i get no response to the bot and then he Ping Times out.
The guys nick on IRC is ReVeReNd_MaGgOt
His hostmask is Rev@.cfl.res.rr.com

Can you provide more information about what the nickname and userhost of this person are (or just some special characters that may exploit any possible backdoors in a script). Are there any error messages or weird messages in your bot's console?

What you can do for now is try and unload all scripts and see if this behaviour continues.

Eggdrop Ping Times out

I have been having a issue with my eggdrop bot (Ping Time) out on my irc server for the last few days now.. It only happens when a certain person joins the #chan my eggdrop sits in.
This guy is a good personal friend of one of my server admins and i know hes not trying to hack/flood the bot. I have Allprotection4.6b8 installed I run the eggy on a few vhosts I had the guy format his computer and join via java and my bot still Ping Times out as soon as he joins the #chan.
I'm running eggdrop v1.6.18 on FreeBSD
Please, if anyone can help me figure this out that would be really great.
