sentinel does NOT ban.

Post by carlossss »

Hello:
I am running eggdrop 1.6.13 with Sentinel 2.7.
When there is flood, Sentinel sets the channel +mi but DOES NOT BAN anybody.
The only feature that apparently works (with flaws) is the nick-flood detector. It bans people that change their nick when it is +m.
Could you please point me in the right direction to solve this problem ?
These are Sentinel settings:
# Bot CTCP flood.
set sl_bcflood 15:30

# Bot MSG flood.
set sl_bmflood 6:8

# Channel CTCP flood.
set sl_ccflood 4:10

# Channel avalanche/tsunami flood.
set sl_avflood 4:8

# Channel text flood.
set sl_txflood 5:10

# Channel bogus username join flood.
set sl_boflood 8:15

# Channel join-part flood.
set sl_jflood 4:10

# Channel nick flood.
set sl_nkflood 5:10

I would ver much appreciate any help or direction you could provide.
Thank you very much.

Two possible causes for it not setting bans:

1) You have sl_ban disabled
2) You didn't follow the recommendation in the "flood setting notes" to keep the seconds fields in the 20-60 range, so the script doesn't have enough time to gather a list of the flooders

Regarding the bans on people who change their nick when the channel is locked, this is a side effect of the function that kicks nick flooders that continue to flood after a lock. A feature was implemented to reduce this "collateral damage", but I never finished development on the version that had this feature.
