/msg ident trouble under eggdrop 1.6.10

Rept · Post by **Rept** » Thu Jun 20, 2002 12:20 pm

Hi all
I experienced the new trouble for me under this version. I can't bring a bot to accept "ident" command via messages.
Yes, I had to comment 2 lines:
unbind msg - ident *msg:ident
unbind msg - addhost *msg:addhost
in config file, but it doesn't solve the problem.

Symptoms are (for a user having a record in userlist.

1) In IRC user has the nick and a host which both differs from it's userrecord)

/msg bot ident <password>
partyline: Failed ident: <nick>

/msg bot ident <password> <nick from the userrecord>
partyline: [NO RESPONSE] - i.e. just nothing.

2) In IRC user has the same nick as in a userrecord but different host.

/msg bot ident <password>
partyline: [NO RESPONSE]

/msg bot ident <password> <nick from the userrecord>
partyline: [NO RESPONSE]

?! :=

Of course, both binds (msg - ident, msg - addhost) are present in the bindlist meanwhile...

May be somebody faced same trouble already and can give me a solution?
Thanks in advance.

Try checking the password for the user.

IE, change it to somthing simple, and get him to test it.

Also, try turning more console flags on, to see if this helps gives errors more clearly.

Thanks for reply.

No - in both issues.

1) User is me

no doubts about password
2) Console flags are set to maximum informative info (+mkcobxsd) to ensure i don't missing any events in response to msg commands. The bot just _fully_ignores_ the msg ident with a correct password though it reacts to _wrong_ password normally.

(and to prevent a next possible question/advise

: no bot ignores are on while i'm trying to ident.)

Try a .match ** 1000 and check if any hosts are conflicting with yours.

Conflicting hosts would be the problem.

IE, the bot allready recognises you as onother user, thus, adding a new hostmask onto your record is only gonna confuse the bot.

Actually, lately I have been having a problem with ident also. For some reason it eats ident requests. It is binded, and it gets the hit on the bind, but the ident never takes place. There are no conflicting hosts either.. *boggle*

Alas, just the same :=\\

tainted did you solve it by some manner, can't you remember?

Thanks for your posts guys

I never did find a solution, I just tell whoever tells me they can't ident to ask a diffrent master to add some hosts for them for now.

I've been having the same problem too, as someone else said the only way around it is to add the masks manually

Try the following.

Create a backup copy of your userfile, so that you can switch back to it.

Kill the bot, then delete the userfile (though, not the backup).

Now start the bot in userfile creation mode. Go through the usual steps of becoming owner.

Add a few users, then delete there hostmasks.

Nowe ask them to ident to the bot.

If sucesful, then the problem with the original userfile is clashing hostmasks.

Else, I can't see any other reason.
