Problem with the ban

tatan · Post by **tatan** » Tue Mar 12, 2002 12:46 am

I want to add a ban to my eggdrop ban list such as *!*@sympatico.ca but I would like one user : santo!*@sympatico.ca to be able to log on my channel. I don't care how it is done but I can't do it with the exception list because undernet do not suport it.
Anyone can help me?

Tell him about the invite message command.

make the ban like this

*!??*@sympatico.ca

and tell your friend to make his ident with one character.

e.g. santo!a@sympatico.ca can join the channel.

If there is a leading ~ infront of the ident it will be counted with one character so this won't work.

e.g. santo!~a@sympatico.ca can't join the channel.

so tell him to run ident server or set the ban like this. *!???*@sympatica.ca
Also if the person having this ip you want to ban has always a leading ~ infront of his ident then you could set the ban like *!~*@sympatico.ca and tell your friend to run ident server not to have a leading ~ infront of his ident.
I think that is the only solution to turn around this problem if you aren't able to use exception bans.

Or you can do waht stdragon said, which is more simple.. or if your irc server supports, add a perm invite/exempt for his host (match part of his nick or ident, just be more precise then the ban, they mustn't match).
