Limit partyline to localhost only?

Hello fellas and friends of eggdrops,

I am wondering what I need to do to the conf file when I want the partyline (over telnet) to be accessed only from localhost and not over official IPs or something like that. Maybe this is just a tricky question and actually very simple to answer or find answers to it on the forum but I did run searches and was not able to find a single thing.

Help is appreciated, thanks a lot

What do you mean by "over official IPs or something like that"? Unless you don't give someone the "p" user flag he/she can't enter the party-line.

Hi caesar,

let me try to describe it a little bit better, using a random ip:

a server running eggdrops has the ip xx.xx.xx.xx (connectable from anywhere in the world which I consider as "official ip") assigned to eth0 with port 3310 for eggdrops partyline access. Now what I dont like is any connect attempt to port 3310 at all from any other place than localhost/127.0.0.1, flag or not.

I hope this explains it more than before.

Moderator edit: no need to show your real IP.

If you don't want anyone to connect to that IP on that port why don't you just filter it out via firewall?

Anyway, see Enable protect-telnet.
