I was wondering why in repeat-floods, nick-floods (an probably in all other floods) by bots set ban in *!*@host.domain.tld format even I have settings like:
set sl_wideban 1
set sl_masktype 2
I've tried with sl_wideban 0 too but it doesn't make any difference, AFAIK with that masktype it should be like *!ident@*.domain.tld ban instead of *!*@host.domain.tld
If sl_masktype is in fact set to 2, it should not be setting bans in the *!*@host.domain.tld format. Are you sure it's is not eggdrop's internal mechanisms or another script setting those particular bans? You can see which bans sentinel has set using .bans all.
