Sentinel ident/host flooding probs

I use Sentinel on a channel where most of the users tend be on pretty much the same clients. These clients have default identd names that many people fail to change. During a flood a bunch of them might get knocked off and on rejoining the channel are kb'd by the bots as IDENT/HOST flooders. How can I adjust the settings in Sentinel for this? I've tried to get the users to change their idents, but we have so many new people coming into the channel its almost impossible. BTW, thanx for such a great job on all your projects!

If you're using the netbots.tcl version of sentinel.tcl, set sl_wideban to 0. If you're using the standalone version, I believe there's a bug which will cause an error if sl_wideban is set to 0, which I'm too lazy to fix until the next netbots.tcl version of the script is ready to be migrated to standalone.
