in your ircd config you cna set a option -
set::modes-on-connect <+modes>;
remove x from the lisrt of modes there...
althou +x is there for a reason :)

That'll only not set them +x on connect, if you want to prevent them from setting +x altogether you'll need one of two things:

Code: Select all

set { restrict-usermodes "x"; };
This will prevent normal users from setting +x, but ircops will be free to change it at will.

Code: Select all

set { allow-userhost-change never; };
This will prevent everyone (including IRCops) from setting +x. It will also disable the /setident, /sethost, /chgident, and /chghost commands.

Both settings only affect users on your server. Users on other servers would still be free to set +x, use setident/sethost, etc.

I should point out, however, that as White_Magic said +x is there for a reason - primarily to hide the IP from other normal users (IRCops can always see the real IPs), thus making it more difficult for a passer-by to collect IPs to plug into various harrassment tools...
