DNS initialisation failed.

Yeah, if your operating system isn't kind enough to report the nameservers to eggdrop, you have to set them manually, after the dns module is loaded. So dns-servers must be set in the config file after the loadmodule dns command.

Oops, my bad again. When i moved dns-servers variable to the end of file, it started to work. And that's what happened before

Code:

[23:19:16] Failed connect to irc.data.lt (DNS lookup failed)[23:20:17] Trying server [irc.data.lt]:6667[23:20:17] DNS resolve failed for irc.data.lt[23:20:17] Failed connect to irc.data.lt (DNS lookup failed)

This has nothing to do with dns resolution and doesn't matter until you decide to use your bot as a server in SSL connections (ctcp schat, telnet over ssl, hub in botnet linking). Read NEWS and doc/TLS for information on what's different in 1.8 and what new variables you'd need to set for some features to work.

Start it with -n to see what's going on, also make sure the dns-servers variable is set somewhere at the end and has valid server(s)

1.8 doesn't actually connect to irc server, it starts, shows everything's ok, but doesn't appear on irc. Telnet doesn't work either, even with old user file.

It won't help for 1.6.20, cause it doesn't have the dns-servers variable and it won't even load the dns module. That's why I asked you to try 1.8. And what makes you think it doesn't work on 1.8? If you set the variable after loading the dns module, it will still print the warning message while loading, but as soon as the var is set somewhere in the config file, it will pick it and use the defined servers.

The fact that your bot is running fine with dns.mod loaded confirms this, but just to make sure, can you paste the output of the following partyline command:

Code:

.module dns

Hm, that didn't help... Neither for 1.6.20 nor 1.8. And i can assure dns is configured properly, as on most *nix based operating systems, there's the only file with the dns servers: /etc/resolv.conf. Anyway, i don't find this is a big problem, since bot is running fine... And i never faced this problem on other OS'es, like debian, centos, freebsd. This error occurs only on openbsd. I'd like it solved, though...

Good. That's what was expected. Now set the dns-servers variable in the config, either using the google ones from the example config or the preferred dns servers from your ISP. Your operating system doesn't provide (or isn't configured properly) a dns server list in the _res structure and that's what requires you to enter them manually.

Code:

set dns-servers "8.8.8.8"

I've found this one: ftp://ftp.eggheads.org/pub/eggdrop/GNU/ ... hot.tar.gz, hopefully that's the version you're proposing to try. Compiling currently, so i'll let you know the results just after few moments.

Click "Download GNU tarball second time, if the first downloads a broken archive. It should work.

Alternatively, it's described here: http://www.eggheads.org/devel/

Same here. I had those errors on openbsd 4.8 and still got those on openbsd 4.9 with eggrdop version 1.6.20. Did you find the solution?
