Heavy Hostmask Problem

Post by Cobrax »

I have an 1.6.12 egg with gseen and stats modules.

But i have a heavy problem in the stats and in the user-file.
of the server, who i have the bot, have i many chatters withe the same id and provider.
and the automatic hosmask of e.g. *!?id@*.aol.com are too improper.
why can i say to the bot he must use nick!*id@*.provider ?
e.g. becomes the fist chatter in the stats all dates from this match , and in the userfile must i all day delete wrong entrys ( +d , ban ) :(

I know that problem. The new undernet mode +x gives all users a hostmask like *!lalala@lalala.users.undernet.org and is stored by the eggdrop as *!*lalala@*.undernet.org - easy to fake.

Or on a certain channel 80% of the users come enter with a javaapplet, and their hostmask in the bot would always be *!jirc@*.foo.yu - not save. I have found no solution for the problem and I've asked many experts.

They all say, it is too complicated to do a simple script to modify the automatical storing of the hostmask in a extended form like *!*@nick.users.undernet.org (what would be save, cause the nick-part in undernet is save.

The only solution I know is to add your user manually with .+host and unbind ident.

It isn't currently possible, as stated, but it isn't as hard as made out to replace the ident function.

There are 2 ways about it.
1: Change the furrent function to create a mask of the type you want.
2: Remove the ident bind, and create your own in a script, that will dot he hostmask of your choice.
