Ban everybody except the bot and certain users?

I havn't looked into the code to see if there are any blocks on this, but my guess would be you have the channel set "-userbans" in eggdrop.

Well, I think that's the easiest way to control who have access to the channel. I thought of using the +k option (key) of the channel but that creates some trouble when the bot wants to reenter if it has been out of the channel. There's no botnet or anything since it's a private IRC server. It is probably a setting, but I'd rather that my users don't have to remember a password.

Anyway, I have tried manually to set a *!*@* ban in the channel with /mode +b #channel *!*@* which is successful just until the bot unsets that ban right after I set it. So the IRC server accepts it, the bot just doesn't.

Why would you want to ban everybody? I dont think the irc server will allow a ban mask of *!*@*
Why not just lock your channel if you want to keep people out?

I'd like to set my eggdrop bot to ban everybody *!*@* except itself *!mybot@*.myisp.com and some other users (who are all registered with the bot if that changes anything).

I've tried this with
.+exempt *!mybot@*.myisp.com #mychannel

(of course theese are not the actual values I used -- I *did* use the right ones, this is not where the problem is)

and then
.+ban *!*@* #mychannel

(all done through the partyline) but the bot says "I'm not going to ban myself." even though I have explicitly added it to the exemption list first. This is the same if I narrow the ban to cover e.g. *!*@*.myisp.com

Is this a bug in eggdrop (I use version 1.6.6 on a RedHat Linux box) or am I doing something wrong? Or is this simply not possible? If it is, then how do I do it?

Thank you in advance.
