Needy Newbie: Allow all +o users to /msg addchan (w/o DCC)

[mickazoid]

Hi all.

I've rolled out an irc server and bot in a protected, behind the firewall setting where all my users are trusted.

I'd like to give them the oppt'y to 'request' the bot to join their rooms, to help log, keep ops, statistics, etc., without requiring them to use DCC.

Ideally, they would have this ability once they've introduced themselves via /msg <bot> hello and set a pass - and I've added 'o' to the .conf line for new users so all recognized users get chanops, all of which works swimmingly so far.

So, now to make the bot truly a public utility for my trusted users...

... is there a tcl script (non DCC) command i can have them use to register their channels with the bot in it's <bot>.chan file? And conversely, is there a command to get rid of the entry in the <bot>.chan file?

Many thanks to all in advance for any mindshare they can lend.

If you had checked out the tcl-archive http://www.egghelp.org/tcl.htm I'm sure you would have found several script which does this... I think I put in one that does this a while back.. can't remember.. anyway. My tips. Take a look at the archive

Thanks again, Papillon !
