EggDrop

Create the initial user

Run eggdrop with the following arguments:

./eggdrop -nm

Connect to the telnet port you configured, and enter 'NEW' as the username.
Then follow the steps to create a new account.
Enter: .save and .quit (don't forget to .save after any changes!)

Make the bot join a channel

.+chan #libxbee

The syntax is: .+chan #channel password

Give yourself permissions

v	voice
o	op
m	master
n	owner
f	friend
p	partyline access

.chattr <handle> +o <#channel>

You must then request the given permission... e.g:

/msg <bot_nick> op <password>
