Sorry to be a bit of a pain

i'm not sure i understand the CGI:IRC Block in the config.

http://www.vulnscan.org/UnrealIRCd/unre ... tml#cgiirc

I basicly was wondering if it was possible to set the block like this:

Code: Select all

cgiirc {
type webirc;
username *;
hostname *;
password "xxxxx";
};

In order to get the server to show the real ip/hostname's of ALL CGI:IRC users. (i'm pretty sure thats insecure thou).

Thanks for any help

I cant see why your example shouldnt work but id be inclined to specify the hostmask of the server or servers running the CGI:IRC applet so nobody can abuse it if they find out the password.

For what i understand of CGI:IRC, the information given to the server when someone using a CGI:IRC gateway to connect to the server is the person's ip/hostname that they give to the website.

As many people have proxy's from there IPS (other not from ISP), many will have there proxy address shown as there IP/hostname on the server.

cgiirc {... hostname *; ...};

was the part of the block i didnt understand, becouse i dont know everyones hostname that uses the CGI:IRC gateway.

or if i put the servers one there.

its a little confussing sp to me, sorry

The way i understand it the CGI:IRC block is designed so that because the actual connections of users connecting using CGI:IRC will be connecting from one IP only it is designed to allow the CGI:IRC app to pass the users real host along seperatly. So from what i can understand the hostname parameter is the hostname of any CGI:IRC server allowed to connect using that CGIIRC block.
