Hmm.
Ok, I will use Eggdrop in a normal account and not as root.
Thanks for all u and the advertisements :)
FYI, many networks do not allow connections from "root" idents. In any case, running eggdrop as root is a bad idea :)

Eggdrop has security issues, therefore it is not permitted to be run directly from a root. Neither normal users are allowed to IRC as root. Use a normal shell account.
There are very good reasons why eggdrop should not be run from the root directory, as I'm sure you will quickly discover if you apply that hack...

Code: 

  if (((int) getuid() == 0) || ((int) geteuid() == 0))    fatal("ERROR: Eggdrop will not run as root!", 0);

If you have root access you can definately create a shell account? am I right?
No one can help you with this; its the way how the coders coded the eggdrop. However if you know C and can tweak the source code then you might be able to work-up something, but I don't recommend or suggest that even if you are capable of doing so.
