Thank > you for your time. You should probably report this to the EchoLink people. Maybe they have a standard procedure for solving these kinds of problems. It could be a hi-jacked account someone is using. Unfortunately there is no blacklist function in SvxLink. I'll put this high on my TODO-list since it's quite important that EchoLink (or SvxLink!) does not get a bad reputaion. What you might do is to put a blocking firewall rule if the IP-address of KB5WWS does not change often. That might work for a while. Something like: iptables -I INPUT 1 -s 10.20.30.40 -j DROP will drop all packets (not just EchoLink) from IP-address 10.20.30.40. 73 de SM0SVX / Tobias > > Barry > K4SGT > > > > > > ___________________________________________________________________________ >_________ Get your own web address. > Have a HUGE year through Yahoo!
