A certain efnet server patch causes servers to reject AmIRC as a "bot",
based on the "USER" statement used by AmIRC during login. The server patch
is totally wrong and violating RFC-1459, although this obviosuly doesn't
help the issue at all.
To overcome the server bug, you can modify your AmIRC executable. Load it
into an hex editor, and search for the string "USER %s . . :%s". Modify
this string to "USER %s - - :%s". Be careful to not touch anything else in
the executable.
I've created a set of spatches to modify the AmIRC 1.1 executable
accordingly. They are applied as follows:
spatch -pAmIRC_efnet.PCH AmIRC
or
spatch -pAmIRC020_efnet.PCH AmIRC020
from a shell window. The modified executable will be
named "AmIRC.new"or "AmIRC020.new" after the patch.
The patch is available via ftp from ftp.vapor.com,
as "/pub/amirc/amirc11_efnet.lha".
Sincerely,
Olli
