linking errors I have link block correct according to docs

Post by Mouse »

Code: Select all

 

link            hub.222.com
{

        bind-ip         *;
        username        *;
        hostname        *;
        port            10111;
        hub            *;
        password-connect "111";
        password-receive "111";
        class servers;



};






Code: Select all

 

-hub.111.com- *** Resolving hostname '*'...
-
-hub.111.com- *** Notice -- Hostname * is unknown for server hub.222.com.
-
-hub.111.com- *** Notice -- Hostname * is unknown for server hub.222.com.
-
-hub.111.com- *** Notice -- Hostname * is unknown for server hub.222.com.




in docs it said that hostname can be *

* is acceptable for a hostname when the server is linking to you. Why can't you have a hostname?

You can use * for hostname, but if you do, you cannot use link::options::autoconnect or the /connect command. You must have the other server initiate the connection.

Also, be warned that * will allow the server to connect from anywhere, so for example people knowing the link pass could pretend to be the server.
