If so, you might need the +x Host-mangling patch for IRC Services which I hacked together, if you intend to use this feature on your network. I should really stick this on a website somewhere, so it's easier to send people and give out the instructions. The reason why it's needed is that Unreal communicates with servers using unmangled hostnames only, but most users will only see the mangled versions (this includes channel operators). As a result, AKICKs and UNBANs can behave very strangely (ie. not work in many cases). My patch causes Services to mangle the hostmask using the same algorithm as Unreal, and compare both the original and the mangled hostmasks of the target user against the mask in question wherever it performed a simple lookup before. If Daylight is simply another name for "IRC Services 4.3.3", then my patch should apply directly - just ask me for it. If it's slightly different, it might still work in the same way. If it's something else completely (a fork in the tree, for example) then a different patch will need to be worked out, or you could simply use the standard IRC Services instead. I always get confused about names of things, so someone please enlighten me! =) BTW, the last option (22) is the correct one, as already pointed out by two other people. I believe someone on the IRC Services bunch is working on full Unreal support, using my patch as a starting point - perhaps Unreal will appear on that Makefile list when that work is complete. -------------------------------------------------------------- from: Jonathan "Chromatix" Morton mail: ch...@cy...
