Hello ppl,

I 've noticed that when a client connects to my server (Only one,not a Network) the notice i receive is something like this: e.g

*** Notice -- Client connecting on port 6667: User321 ([email protected]) [clients]

I think the server includes in these notices not only the hostnames but also the IP address of the client who is connecting.

To Show What I Mean.I Expected a notice like this

*** Notice -- Client connecting on port 6667: User321 ([email protected]) [1.2.3.4.] [clients]

Is There Something Wrong With My Configuration Or Unreal Works Like This( Only Shows Hostnames When Someone Connects).

The Basic Reason To Ask Is That I Want to Use BOPM in order to Scan Incoming Connections and BOPM needs IP's to be included in these notices.

Thanks

If you read the bopm.conf you'll notice a line that mentions PROTOCTL HCN, and that says you must uncomment it for Unreal support. Well, you didn't uncomment it.

It is astonishing the amount of people who do this... but ah well.

I had already uncommented it,but i forgot to uncomment the bind connregex heh Many can happen when you are in hurry

Btw If The BOPM can see the IP during the connection,why we ( the operators) cannot see it?It Would Be Usefull.

Thx A Lot Guys

If you type /protoctl HCN then you will see it too.

Or if you have a decent client, you can highlight+copy the hostname portion, and then put in /dns <press ^V>.

If it in fact, resolves.

Eh? I'm assuming you mean if it resolves during connection? In which case, it would just have the IP and you're good to go with it w/o /dns. But if you're suggesting /dns might fail, well then, not much you can do .

Yeppah, that's what I was implying. i.e some problem with nameservers or whatnot.
