password not working with znc

[ghost]

I am having trouble connecting to znc. It seams the problem is znc does not like the \r\n in the password but this does not make sense. The following works but not in https://github.com/pdxacm/acmbot. BTW I changed the password. I don't know if this i a bug or not

derp()
{
echo -en "PASS password\r\n"
echo "NICK AcmBot"
echo "USER AcmBot AcmBot 127.0.0.1 :AcmBot"
echo "PRIVMSG #acm :Hello from a script"
echo "QUIT"
}

derp "$@" | openssl s_client -quiet -connect rita.cat.pdx.edu:1919 &> /dev/null

$ znc --version
ZNC 0.206+deb1 - http://znc.in

echo is already adding a newline; when you do echo -e "...\r\n" what you're actually sending is "...\r\n\n".

[ghost]

Thats script works. I thought the -n turns off that extra \n http://linux.die.net/man/1/echo

[ayust]

Oh, yeah, completely overlooked the -n.

As for debugging why it's not working for the bot - can you set the log level to DEBUG for your bot (which will give you a view of all network traffic back and forth) and see where it's actually bombing out and with what message, if any?

Oh, one other thing to check... does the pattern you're using contain a ; character in it? If so the configuration parser might be treating that and the rest of the password after it as a comment... What happens if you provide the password via the command line flag (--password) instead?

[ghost]

No change. The password is [removed] if you want to test. @nightfly19 will be setting up a non ssl port 1920.

[ayust]

Hm. Very curious; I was able to replicate on my end.

[ayust]

I think the bug isn't actually with the password, but how it's sending the USER line. Investigating further...

[ayust]

Found the issue; there was an extra comma at the end of a line in the skeleton code. I've fixed it in the skeleton in e6bfdbc3a6de8f3061195ce90285deba9118682a but you'll need to make the same change in your own code.

[ayust]

To provide a little more detail - after some more staring and trying things, I noticed this line in your log:

DEBUG 2014-01-16 15:39:44,990 kitnirc.client:0318 - rita.cat.pdx.edu <-- USER ('AcmBot',) cbw-Inspiron-1520 rita.cat.pdx.edu :AcmBot

Notice how the line as sent isn't USER AcmBot ... but rather USER ('AcmBot',) ... - the extra comma was causing the username to be set as a tuple rather than a string.
