Try to increase set ident-timeout to a reasonable value, such as 30.
ident-timeout is unrelated to the problem

apparently your TCP bot-to-bot connections have a problem, you need to investigate that (check your firewall, test with other network services, ask your admin if you have one, etc.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Information:
I have 1 hub bot running on my home machine
freebsd 5.3 stable

I have several bots on other servers that i would like to link to my hub bot
In this example i will stick to 2 bots _ hub and BSD the bot i want to link.
i use .+bot host:port on both bots like it says in the help file

My hub bot _ listens on port 50000
The bot BSD i want to link listens on port 40000

On the bot BSD i wish to link i type .link _ (_ is the hub bots name)

[08:58] #talon# link _
[08:58] Linking to _ at www.unix.org.au:50000 ...
[08:58] Received challenge from _... sending response ...
[08:58] Linked to _.
*** Linked to _

On the hub Bot _ I see this

[09:58] Telnet connection: BSD'sHOSTNAME/50230
[09:58] Timeout/EOF ident connection
[09:58] Challenging BSD...
[09:58] Linked to BSD.
*** Linked to BSD

Bottree looks good !!

[10:01] #talon# bottree
_
`--BSD
Average hops: 1.0, total bots: 2

Life is good :) everything is normal on both bots

[09:00] Writing user file...
[09:00] Writing channel file...

After about 5 minutes I see the following

On BSD the bot i want to link

[09:05] Ping timeout: _
*** Ping timeout: _ (lost 1 bot and 1 user)

On _ the hub bot I see The following

[10:05] Ping timeout: BSD
*** Ping timeout: BSD (lost 1 bot and 1 user)

I have no idea how to fix this :(
i have tried updating recompiling unloading all scripts etc etc
Its rather annoying i must say

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could it be the time thing both bots are an exactly an hour out of sync
Daylight savings crap ??

Both machines block ICMP (Pings) ??


Please Help Me Jason aka Talon
