| will someone please explain how to use the 'ban' command on ip's? It doesn't seem to do anything with "ban <ip/name> all".
You can still connect and log-on. | | Top |

| | Check that the file "ban.txt" has been written and has the appropriate IP address in it. |

| Where would that ban.txt file be? It shows up when you type "ban", but doesnt affect anything.

| In the area directory.
After some investigation, I can get this to work if you do this ...
1. Use permban, not just ban, then the file is written out.
2. Use a wildcard, otherwise the banning routine doesn't seem to work correctly.
eg.
permban localhost*
I think the lines (in ban.c) reading this:
if (IS_SET(pban->ban_flags,BAN_PREFIX)
&& IS_SET(pban->ban_flags,BAN_SUFFIX)
&& strstr(pban->name,host) != NULL)
return TRUE;
should read:
if (!IS_SET(pban->ban_flags,BAN_PREFIX)
&& !IS_SET(pban->ban_flags,BAN_SUFFIX)
&& strcmp(pban->name,host) != NULL)
return TRUE;
However I haven't tested this theory. :)

| Thanks for the help.
I got it working, normally, with your code change.
Just one correction, otherwise that change bans all
connection:
strcmp should be strstr | | Top |

| | I made it strcmp so it needed an exact match, whereas strstr would match on a partial match. Still, if it works, very good. |
