I have added Some Crawlers under "Spiders, Bots and Crawlers" also i have created
a group for them to only have rights to read / show. Then i selected auto-login.

But it looks like they get not logged in, are there some more options that needs to be changed to get it work?

The feature is working as you can see on this forum.
The user agent string must match within the first 32 characters (will be 64 chars in 3.0.5).

sorry but the only user agent string that is too long is the Google Bot, any hints how to troubleshoot my problem with other Bots that are correct in the DB?

Case should match as well. Besides that, I cannot think of anything else. To continue, maybe post your useragent mask as well as the "User-Agent" header of a bot that's not working.

Stupid question perhaps, but what's the point of this, adding bots... ?

You can block the bad bots and keep track of the good bots visiting your forum.

EDIT: Something else: you can present a bot with a certain view of the site. For example, ensure Google index the French version, but Yahoo only see the German side. Silly example, but you get the idea.
