Show IP's instead of Host

stimpy · Post by **stimpy** » Tue Jun 28, 2005 3:43 pm

Hello everyone,

Since today i'm running a Unreal server.
Setingup the server and some extra features went fine, but now i want to change a few small things and i keep running in to one small problem

At the moment if someone connects to the server i can see the following :

[17:35:02] -chat.dutchnova.com- *** Notice -- Client connecting on port 6697: KinG[away] ([email protected]) [clients]

And if someone joines a channel i see this :

[17:35:06] * KinG[away] ([email protected]) has joined #dutchnova

I really would like to show the IP address instead of the Hostname.
I tried to use the +x and -x option, but it doesn't work.
I used the search option on this forum, i even know every word in the FAQ and manual of the server to.

Could someone help me with this ?

Then my second question.
Is there a possibility that only the channel operators and de server operators can see the IP address and the regular user only see a Vhost or something ?

I used to run a simple Windows IRCx server and i know it was possible there.

Thanks for any help.

Grtzzz

usermode +x allows you to hide "part" of the userhost

if you want everything totaly masked, remove the DNS resolution on the server (it's in the configs somewhere) and add the +x usermode, should mask things well.

It isn't my intention to Mask at all..

I want to see the IP address instead of the mask.
This is because the chatserver will be connected to a usersearch on another site wich needs the full IP address instead of the Mask.

Thanks for the quick reply

Search the docs for something like (i think its called...) dont-resolve i think its a set::options

ok, now i'm getting confused

IRCop can ALWAYS see full IP, regardless of vhost.

so, what i'm seeing here is this.

what you pasted in the first post is a FULL dns name (meaning it is unmasked and can be resolved) that in essence is the IP address

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: sd5115e28.adsl.wanadoo.nl
Address: 213.17.94.40

if you want to to show up as just numbers, disable host resolving in the IRCD, everyone will just get IP's (and has a by product, may speed up clients connecting).

if you want EVERYONE to see the IP/host, don't use usermode x. if you want it masked to people (highly recommended) then set usermode +x. if you want to have it "unmasked" to some people, you would need to make those people ircops(in a +x environement), or create a bot to resolve those users and parrot back the IP to the chan ops (the ircop is easier if you can trust the people who would have access to the IP/host)

And now comes the big question,

Where could i find the Host Resolving part in the config.
I really did search for everything, but it just blows my brains out at this moment.
Maybe it's better to take a little break, but i just can't as long as this doesn't want to do what i want.

Thanks again..

Nevermind

I found it.

I think i've reached my limit after 6 hours of watching to the config file.
I found it in the Documantation to.

Thanks again

As mentioned ealier in this thread by Jason:

You want set::options::dont-resolve

In order to have just the last octet of an IP cloaked, you need to make your own cloaking module. I believe there is a cloaking module on the Unreal website in the modules section that can be configured to do exactly that.
