I have saw a command for eggdrop and ircd. Can anyone tell me what this guys is doing. Is eggdrop a bot of some sort?

It sits on your server and keeps an IRC channel open and mods it while the real mods are away. There's been a lot of stories of people hacking it to shut it down (or just DOS attacking it), so they can take over a channel. I hear Egg Drop is the safest of them all, but it's something your retail customers may feel threatened by. Just one of the problems of a shell account :) Greg Moore Cael 02-23-2001, 10:27 AM You should beware of any clan war that your clients might be involving in. Your server might be DoS because of that... allan 02-23-2001, 12:58 PM What Donovan said...you may be opening yourself to all sorts of trouble by allowing these types of bots. |
