These blocks DO work, but they don't do what you want, of course.

Now please start reading the documentation, it is very clearly documented how allow blocks work.

I don't get it, this IS how it's done in the docs...

The docs wrote:About matching
The access control works like this: ip matches OR host matches, so "hostname *@*"; and "ip *@1.2.3.4" will mean it will always match.

So, I've changed that...

The docs wrote:Also the allow blocks are read upside down, so you need specific host/ip allow blocks AFTER your general *@* allow blocks.

That too...

The docs wrote:ip
The ip mask is in the form user@ip, user is the ident and often set at *, ip is the ipmask. Some examples: *@* (from everywhere), *@192.168.* (only from addr's starting with 192.168), etc.

Exactly what I have....

The docs wrote:host
Also a user@host hostmask, again.. user is often set at *. Some examples: *@* (everywhere), *@*.wanadoo.fr (only from wanadoo.fr).

Same thing here.

Read everything...
"About Matching" is the interesting part for you.

It has to be like that right? (it doesn't work...)

Nope. With that link block order, you may as well not have the first three. (All connections will match #4.)

As countless others have suggested, go and read the manual again.

For the 6th time? Really, I just don't get it >.<

And about the passworded one, I thought it wouldn't be matched without the password...

I'm not 100% sure what you are trying to accomplish since your allow blocks seem to change all the time, but... But! Here's a guess:
- normal clients allowed: 5 maxperip
- 192.168.1.33: 20 maxperip
- 127.0.0.1: 50 maxperip
- anywhere, with a password: "unlimited" maxperip
Now for the last block w/o password, I rather suggest also requiring an ident.. Reason is, if someone connects with a password of something else than "vanmij" they can't get in. And since passwords can be used by users for services (if you specify a password it also gets sent to nickserv) this isn't too uncommon.

So last block perhaps something like: But of course, you could try with the original set I posted first.. to see if that works for you.

Thanks, it works


Well, the passworded one is only for occasions like: I'm at a friend and can't connect to the remote.
So, I think an ident isn't usefull

Old topic, but I just wanted to be sure
I have on my server which hosts my unreal ircd and services, also installed psybnc
which im gonna let max 50 users use, so to get this working would I use: In order to have services NOT interfer with that amount of connections
from localhost?

That would work fine, Allow block is local only and only works for that particular server.

And clients can't connect to your services server anyway:P

Thanks for your reply, I was wondering, do I need to add anything in services.conf
or will unrealircd.conf sort what needs sorting by adding the allow block I wrote?

You may also have to add an exception to limiting in services too.
