Good day.
Is there a way to probe for computer name in Unrealircd.
When somebody connect to the server, the server will probe for computer name. Is this possible ?

"computer name" has many meanings. I'm going to assume, however, that you are referring to the name you assign in Windows. Well, not everyone runs Windows. And even of those people that do, many people have NetBIOS disabled and hence there is no "computer name" displayed to anyone.

So to answer your question, no, Unreal does not store this information, nor does it care about it. The computer name only has meaning within a NetBIOS based network, not a TCP based network.
