<p><a name="sect1a"></a>1a. <strong>Executable path</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>The first line in an Eggdrop configuration file should contain
a fully qualified path to your Eggdrop executable. It has to be
implemented in the way the example shows to make the config file
work as a shell script.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<p>#! /path/to/eggdrop</p>
</blockquote>
<p><a name="sect1b"></a>1b. <strong>Basic settings</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>You can change the basic Eggdrop appearance and behavior in this
section.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<dl>
<dt><strong>set username "lamest"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This setting defines the username the bot uses on IRC. This
setting has no effect if an ident daemon is running on your
bot's machine.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set admin "Lamer <email:
lamer@lamest.lame.org>"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This setting defines which contact person should be shown in
.status, /msg help, and other places. You really should include
this information.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set network "SomeIrcNetwork"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This setting is used only for info to share with others on your
botnet. Set this to the IRC network your bot is connected to.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set timezone "EST"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This setting defines the timezone is your bot in. It's
used for internal routines as well as for logfile timestamping
and scripting purposes. The timezone string specifies the name of
the timezone and must be three or more alphabetic characters. For
example, Central European Time(UTC+1) should be "CET".</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set offset "5"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>The offset setting specifies the time value to be added to the
local time to get Coordinated Universal Time (UTC aka GMT). The
offset is positive if the local timezone is west of the Prime
Meridian and negative if it is east. The value (in hours) must be
between -23 and 23. For example, if the timezone is UTC+1, the
offset is -1.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set env(TZ) "$timezone $offset" (disabled by
default)</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>If you don't want to use the timezone setting for scripting
purposes only, but instead everywhere possible, then use this
setting.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set my-hostname "virtual.host.com"</strong></dt>
<dt><strong>set my-ip "99.99.0.0"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>If you're using virtual hosting (your machine has more
than 1 IP), you may want to specify the particular IP to bind to.
You can specify either by hostname or by IP. You may also want to
set the hostname here if Eggdrop has trouble detecting it when it
starts up.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>addlang "english"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>If you want to have your Eggdrop messages displayed in another
language, change this command to match your preferences. An
alternative would be to set the environment variable EGG_LANG to
that value.</p>
<p>Languages included with Eggdrop: Danish, English, French, Finnish,
German.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</blockquote>
<p><a name="sect1c"></a>1c. <strong>Log files</strong></p>
<p>Eggdrop is capable of logging various things, from channel chatter to
partyline commands and file transfers.</p>
<p>Logfiles are normally kept for 24 hours. Afterwards, they will be
renamed to "(logfilename).yesterday". After 48 hours, they
will be overwritten be the logfile of the next day.</p>
<blockquote>
<dl>
<dt><strong>set max-logs 5</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This is the maximum number of logfiles allowed. This setting
can be increased; however, don't decrease it.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set max-logsize 0</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This is the maximum size of your logfiles. Set it to 0 to
disable. This value is in kilobytes, so '550' would mean
cycle logs when it reaches the size of 550 kilobytes. Note that
this only works if you have keep-all-logs set to 0 (OFF).</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set quick-logs 0</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This could be good if you have had a problem with logfiles
filling your quota/hard disk or if you log +p and publish it
to the web, and you need more up-to-date info. Note that this
setting might increase the CPU usage of your bot (on the other
hand it will decrease your RAM usage).</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>logfile <logflags> <channel>
"logs/logfile"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This setting tells the bot what should be logged, from where,
and to which file.</p>
<p>Logfile flags:</p>

</blockquote>
<p>Note that modes d, h, r, t, and v can fill disk quotas quickly.
There are also eight user-defined levels (1-8) which can be used by
Tcl scripts.</p>
<p>Each logfile belongs to a certain channel. Events of type
'k', 'j', and 'p' are logged to whatever
channel they happened on. Most other events are currently logged
to every channel. You can make a logfile belong to all channels
by assigning it to channel "*"</p>
<p>Examples:</p>
<p><strong>logfile mco * "logs/eggdrop.log"<br>
logfile jpk #lamest "logs/lamest.log"<br></strong></p>
<p>In 'eggdrop.log', put private msgs/ctcps, commands,
misc info, and errors from any channel.</p>
<p>In 'lamest.log', log all joins, parts, kicks, bans,
public chatter, and mode changes from #lamest.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set log-time 1</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Use this feature to timestamp entries in the log file.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set keep-all-logs 0</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>If you want to keep your logfiles forever, turn this setting
on. All logfiles will get the suffix ".[day, 2 digits][month, 3
letters][year, 4 digits]". Note that your quota/hard-disk might
be filled by this, so check your logfiles often and download
them.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set switch-logfiles-at 300</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>You can specify when Eggdrop should switch logfiles and start
fresh. You must use military time for this setting. 300 is the
default, and describes 03:00 (AM).</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set quiet-save 0</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Those nasty "Writing user file..." and "Writing
channel file..." messages won't be logged anymore if this
option is enabled.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set logfile-suffix ".%d%b%Y"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>If keep-all-logs is 1, this setting will define the suffix of
the logfiles. The default will result in a suffix like
"04May2000". "%Y%m%d" will produce the often
used yyyymmdd format. Read the strftime manpages for more options.
NOTE: On systems which don't support strftime, the default
format will be used <strong>always</strong>.</p>

<p><a name="sect1d"></a>1d. <strong>Console</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<dl>
<dt><strong>set console "mkcobxs"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This is the default console mode. It uses the same event flags
as the log files do. The console channel is automatically set to
your "primary" channel, which is set in the modules
section of the config file. Masters can change their console
channel and modes with the '.console' command.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</blockquote>
<p><a name="sect1e"></a>1e. <strong>Files and directories</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<dl>
<dt><strong>set userfile "LamestBot.user"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Specify here the filename your userfile should be saved as.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set pidfile "pid.LamestBot"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Specify here the filename Eggdrop will save its pid to. If no
pidfile is specified, pid.(botnet-nick) will be used.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set sort-users 0</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>If you want your userfile to be sorted upon saving, enable this
setting. This causes the bot to use bit more CPU when saving the
userfile.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set help-path "help/"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Specify here where Eggdrop should look for help files.
Don't modify this setting unless you know what you're
doing!</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set text-path "text/"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Specify here where Eggdrop should look for text files. This is
used for certain Tcl and DCC commands.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set temp-path "/tmp"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Set here a place to store temporary files.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set motd "text/motd"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>The MOTD (Message Of The day) is displayed when people dcc chat
or telnet to the bot. Look at doc/TEXT-SUBSTITUTIONS for
options.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set telnet-banner "text/banner"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This banner will be displayed on telnet connections. Look at
doc/TEXT-SUBSTITUTIONS for options.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set userfile-perm 0600</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This specifies what permissions the user, channel, and notes
files should be set to. The octal values are the same as for the
chmod system command.</p>
<p>To remind you:</p>
<pre>
u g o u g o u g o
0600 rw------- 0400 r-------- 0200 -w------- u - user
0660 rw-rw---- 0440 r--r----- 0220 -w--w---- g - group
0666 rw-rw-rw- 0444 r--r--r-- 0222 -w--w--w- o - others
</pre>
<p>Note that the default 0600 is the most secure one and should
only be changed if you need your files for shell scripting or
other external applications.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set mod-path "modules/"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This path specifies the path were Eggdrop should look for its
modules. If you run the bot from the compilation directory, you
will want to set this to "". If you use 'make
install' (like all good kiddies do ;), this is a fine default.
Otherwise, use your head :).</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</blockquote>
<p><a name="sect1f"></a>1f. <strong>Botnet, DCC and network</strong></p>
<p>Settings in this section should be unimportant for you until you
deal with botnets (multiple Eggdrops connected together to maximize
efficiency). You should read <a href="botnet.html">Botnet Sharing and
Linking</a> before modifying these settings.</p>
<blockquote>
<dl>
<dt><strong>set botnet-nick "LlamaBot"</strong> (disabled
by default)</dt>
<dd>
<p>If you want to use a different nickname on the botnet than you
use on IRC (i.e. if you're on an un-trusted botnet), un-comment
this line and set it to the nick you would like to use.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>listen <port> <mode></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This opens a telnet port by which you and other bots can interact
with the Eggdrop by telneting in.</p>
<p>There are more options for the listen command in
<a href="tcl-commands.html">Tcl Commands</a>. Note that if you are
running more than one bot on the same machine, you will want to space
the telnet ports at LEAST 5 apart, although 10 is even better.</p>
<p>Valid ports are typically anything between 1025 and 65535 assuming
the port is not already in use.</p>
<p>If you would like the bot to listen for users and bots in separate
ports, use the following format:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>listen 3333 bots</strong><br>
<strong>listen 4444 users</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>If you wish to use only one port, use this format:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>listen 3333 all</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>You need to un-comment this line and change the port number in
order to open the listen port. You should not keep this set to
3333.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set remote-boots 2</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This setting defines whether or not people can boot users on
the Eggdrop from other bots in your botnet. Valid settings are:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>0 - allow <strong>no</strong> outside boots<br>
1 - allow boots from sharebots<br>
2 - allow any boots</p>
</blockquote>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set share-unlinks 1</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This setting prohibits Eggdrop to unlink from share bots if an
remote bots tells so.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set protect-telnet 0</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This setting will drop telnet connections not matching a known
host.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set dcc-sanitycheck 0</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This setting will make the bot ignore DCC chat requests which
appear to have bogus information on the grounds that the user may
have been trying to make the bot connect to somewhere that will get
it into trouble, or that the user has a broken client, in which
case the connect wouldn't work anyway.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set ident-timeout 5</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This settings defines a time in seconds that the bot should
wait before a dcc chat, telnet, or relay connection times out.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set require-p 0</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Define here whether or not a +o user still needs the +p flag
to dcc the bot.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set open-telnets 0</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>If you want people allow to telnet in and type 'NEW'
to become a new user, set this to 1. This is similar to the
'hello' msg command. The protect-telnet setting must be
set to 0 to use this.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set stealth-telnets 0</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>If you don't want Eggdrop to identify itself as an Eggdrop
on a telnet connection, set this setting to 1. Eggdrop will display
'Nickname' instead.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set use-telnet-banner 0</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>If you want Eggdrop to display a banner when telneting in, set
this setting to 1. The telnet banner is set by 'set
telnet-banner'.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set connect-timeout 15</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This settings defines a timeout in seconds how long the bot
should wait for a dcc chat, telnet, relay, etc connection.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set dcc-flood-thr 3</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Specify here the number of lines to accept from a user on the
partyline within 1 second before they are considered to be
flooding and therefore get booted.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set telnet-flood 5:60</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Define here how many telnet connection attempts in how many
seconds from the same host constitute a flood. The correct format
is Attempts:Seconds.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set paranoid-telnet-flood 1</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>If you want telnet-flood to apply even to +f users, set this
setting to 1.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set resolve-timeout 15</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Set here the amount of seconds before giving up on
hostname/address lookup (you might want to increase this if you
are on a slow network).</p>
</dd>

<p><a name="sect1g"></a>1g. <strong>More advanced settings</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<dl>
<dt><strong>set firewall "!sun-barr.ebay:3666"</strong></dt>

<p>Set this to your socks host if your Eggdrop sits behind a
firewall. If you use a Sun "telnet passthru" firewall,
prefix the host with a "!".</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set nat-ip "127.0.0.1"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>If you have a NAT firewall (you box has an IP in one of the
following ranges: 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255,
172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255, 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255 and your
firewall transparently changes your address to a unique address
for your box) or you have IP masquerading between you and the
rest of the world, and /dcc chat, /ctcp chat or userfile sharing
aren't working, enter your outside IP here. This IP is used for
transfers only, and has nothing to do with the my-ip or my-hostname
settings. You may still need to set my-ip and/or my-hostname.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set reserved-portrange 2010:2020</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>If you want all dcc file transfers to use a particular
portrange either because you're behind a firewall, or for other
security reasons, set it here.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set ignore-time 15</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Set the time in minutes that temporary ignores should last.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set hourly-updates 00</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Define here what Eggdrop considers 'hourly'. All calls
to it, including such things as note notifying or userfile saving,
are affected by this.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>set hourly-updates 15</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The bot will save its userfile 15 minutes past every hour.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set owner "MrLame, MrsLame"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Un-comment this line and set the list of owners of the bot.
You NEED to change this setting.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set notify-newusers "$owner"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Who should a note be sent to when new users are learned?</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set default-flags "hp"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Enter the flags that all new users should get by default. See
'.help whois' on the partyline for a list of flags and
their descriptions.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set whois-fields "url birthday"</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Enter all user-defined fields that should be displayed in a
'.whois'. This will only be shown if the user has one of
these extra fields. You might prefer to comment this out and use
the userinfo1.0.tcl script which provides commands for changing
all of these.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set die-on-sighup 0</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Enable this setting if you want your Eggdrop to die upon
receiving a SIGHUP kill signal. Otherwise, the Eggdrop will just
save its userfile and rehash.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set die-on-sigterm 0</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Enable this setting if you want your Eggdrop to die upon
receiving a SIGTERM kill signal. Otherwise, the Eggdrop will just
save its userfile and rehash.</p>

<dt><strong>unbind dcc n tcl *dcc:tcl</strong></dt>
<dt><strong>unbind dcc n set *dcc:set</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Comment these two lines if you wish to enable the .tcl and .set
commands. If you select your owners wisely, you should be okay
enabling these.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set must-be-owner 1</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>If you enable this setting, only permanent owners (owner
setting) will be able to use .tcl and .set. Moreover, if you want
to only let permanent owners use .dump, then set this to 2.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>unbind dcc n simul *dcc:simul</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Comment out this line to add the 'simul' partyline
command (owners can manipulate other people on the party line).
Please select owners wisely and use this command ethically!</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set max-dcc 50</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Set here the maximum number of dcc connections you will allow.
You can increase this later, but never decrease it.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set allow-dk-cmds 1</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Enable this setting if you want +d & +k users to use
commands bound as -|-.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>set dupwait-timeout 5</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>If your Eggdrop rejects bots that actually have already
disconnected from another hub, but the disconnect information has
not yet spread over the botnet due to lag, use this setting. The
bot will wait dupwait-timeout seconds before it checks again and
then finally reject the bot.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</blockquote>
<p><a name="sect1h"></a>1h. <strong>Modules</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>After the core settings, you should start loading modules. Modules
are loaded by the command "loadmodule <module>".
Eggdrop looks for modules in the directory you specified by the
module-path setting in the files and directories section.</p>
<p>Please note that for different configurations, different modules
are needed. Four examples:</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Channel Security Bot</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This bot needs the channels, blowfish, console, dns, irc, and
(if you like) ctcp modules loaded. More is not needed and makes
the bot slower.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Public IRC Bot</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>A public bot should have all modules available loaded since
they provide all functions for everyday use.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Secure Filesys Bot</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This bot needs all normal IRC operating modules, but not the
notes, seen, ctcp or share modules.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Limbo Bot</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>A limbo bot (serves as a botnet hub outside IRC) just needs the
channels, console, dns, and maybe notes or share modules loaded.
Of course, blowfish needs to be loaded here, too.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</blockquote>
<p><a name="sect1i"></a>1i. <strong>Scripts</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>The scripts section should be placed at the end of the config file.
All modules should be loaded and their variables should be set at this
point.</p>
<p><strong>source scripts/script.tcl</strong></p>
<p>This line loads script.tcl from the scripts directory inside your
Eggdrop's directory. All scripts should be put there, although you
can place them where you like as long as you can supply a fully
qualified path to them.</p>
<p>Some commonly loaded scripts are alltools.tcl and action.fix.tcl.</p>
<p>The appropriate source lines are:</p>
<p><strong>source scripts/alltools.tcl<br>
source scripts/action.fix.tcl</strong></p>
