Phoenix Network Forums

My eggdrop is running in my shell but the problem is its showing that it has joined 4 channels. The fact is it is not joining any channel at all.

[18:46] === Nanee: 4 channels, 4 users.
Launched into the background (pid: 25116)

What should i do?

Btw it is running for dal.net.

that means there are 4 channels set for eggdrop to join, whether static (set in the conf file) or dynamic (added manually).
It doesn't mean that the bot actually joined the actual channels on irc.

Whois the bot to check whether it's connected to the network at all.
Check the bots log files as well...

The bot is probably banned from the network due to too many users with the same ip.

maybe the channel is not joinable, such as +R (only registered users can join) etc

yeah got it, the ip is akiled. here is the msg
[09:09] -ERROR from server- Closing Link: 0.0.0.0 ([AKILL ID:1114237163K-wd] [exp/fldhst] Exploited host, go to http://kline.dal.net/exploits/akills.htm (2005/04/23 02.50))

is there anyway to get this akilled off?

Here is what the web link said about this akill

Nominal Duration : One Week
User Action : Secure your machine and wait for the ban to expire.
This IP address or IP block has possibly been involved in flooding attacks against our network. This is often the result of downloading files from untrusted sources which are infected with one of several trojan horse programs. Again, we recommend the use of a trojan scanner or modern anti-virus utility to detect and if necessary remove the trojan. These autokills normally last for no more than one week, although they may be extended if the machines are not secured during that period.

you have to wait until that week has passed, thats pretty simple. If after that period the akill comes again you should krod ask to ask the IRCops why the akill triggers, so he can look a) if the source is really his IP (and does not just match a wideban) b) in the case the source is his IP, im sure Krod will kill the cause .

thanks man :)

b) in the case the source is his IP, im sure Krod will kill the cause

pretty sure that's the problem.

What a webmasters
