If you know their hostnames/ips you can use those in the allow blocks... see the documentation.

Also, why not use a serverpasswords? That's exactly for things like this and it's what I use on my own server. See allow::password.
Then in mIRC/irssi/bitchx for example you use '/server my.nice.server 6667 password' (or, obviously, add it to the server list / use other GUI stuff, you get the idea ;p).

I believe you can use idents in the allow block. Tell your friends to install and setup an Identd server (some clients have one built-in) and then tell them to use a specific ident, then you use a hostname mask like *ident@*.their.isp.net, where .their.isp.net is the part of their hostname that never changes (usually the ISP set stuff like .cpe.cableone.net (ME :P )). Obviously for really weird ISPs you might have something like sometext*-user*.isp.dialup.net or something :D .

If that doesn't work, passwords will :P .

and is it good?

Code: Select all

ban nick {
        mask "*";
        reason "bye..";
};

except ban {
       mask           friends*!*@*;
};

Your configuration is almost correct syntactically; the only ill-formed part is the except ban mask. That must be a user@host mask, it cannot consist of a nickname.

*Edit: by the way, the idea is nice, however I don't know any way to have nickname ban exceptions.

Why not just not give out the server addy . If you dont advertise it then how will the lameass spammers get in ? .

I ran my ircd for 3 months with no advertising and a closed group of testers and nobody got in except them .

You can also set services up so that it will only allow certain nicks into channel and have it autokill any unauthd people . If you are building a small ircd then dont worry about the spammers they very likely wont even know you are there.

Solutech, my server has been running well over a year, and I have only had a few lamers. That doesnt mean that his server addy wont slip out and attract them :)
