Sorry for the newb question but Google didn't throw any results up.
How can you tell if allow block is effective on user?
Kind regards

By using it. What I mean is if you have a block allowing something for a specific ip address or range, test it. connect from that ip/range and see if whatever you created the allow block for works.
Please keep in mind that allow blocks are read from the bottom up and a user is placed in the first matching allow block. So more restrictive blocks need to be at the bottom and lesser restrictive ones at the top.
Sometimes creating a dedicated allow.conf is best and include it in unrealircd.conf.
