If you know their hostnames/ips you can use those in the allow blocks... see the documentation.

Also, why not use a serverpasswords? That's exactly for things like this and it's what I use on my own server. See allow::password.
Then in mIRC/irssi/bitchx for example you use '/server my.nice.server 6667 password' (or, obviously, add it to the server list / use other GUI stuff, you get the idea ;p).

aquanight: dynamic ip..

Syzop: thanks, but i wait for the 'autokill' idea, if nobody know that ill use password..

I believe you can use idents in the allow block. Tell your friends to install and setup an Identd server (some clients have one built-in) and then tell them to use a specific ident, then you use a hostname mask like *ident@*.their.isp.net, where .their.isp.net is the part of their hostname that never changes (usually the ISP set stuff like .cpe.cableone.net (ME )). Obviously for really weird ISPs you might have something like sometext*-user*.isp.dialup.net or something .

If that doesn't work, passwords will .

its too complex

[lms]

and is it good?

Code: Select all

ban nick {
        mask "*";
        reason "bye..";
};

except ban {
       mask           friends*!*@*;
};

Your configuration is almost correct syntactically; the only ill-formed part is the except ban mask. That must be a user@host mask, it cannot consist of a nickname.

*Edit: by the way, the idea is nice, however I don't know any way to have nickname ban exceptions.

maybe it can be a new feature?

Why not just not give out the server addy . If you dont advertise it then how will the lameass spammers get in ? .

I ran my ircd for 3 months with no advertising and a closed group of testers and nobody got in except them .

You can also set services up so that it will only allow certain nicks into channel and have it autokill any unauthd people . If you are building a small ircd then dont worry about the spammers they very likely wont even know you are there.

i dont know any services whats have 'except'

Solutech, my server has been running well over a year, and I have only had a few lamers. That doesnt mean that his server addy wont slip out and attract them
