The duuuude has spoken – gulp.

There isn’t a problem with interference or naughtiness, just one of traffic management.

However, I will abide by the rules and stop trying to break things.

I’ll go and stand in the corner for a while.

It is the policy of Allstar Link to require *ALL* Allstar nodes to accept connections from
and allow connections to *ALL* Allstar nodes. PERIOD.

If someone's node is somehow causing you interference or problems, you are intended
to make an "official" complaint, and it *WILL* be dealt with.

Interesting idea.

I’ve done a bit of AWK’ing in the past to parse out stats from the log of who connected when and how many times, but I’ve slept since then and will have to learn it all over again J

I guess that this will need to run regularly (cron?) in order to prevent a newly downloaded node list from unblocking the user.

I’ll look further at that. Thanks

write an awk (or PERL or ?) script to grok through the nodelist that gets downloaded on a regular basis and remove the node in question.  

that will, in essence, prevent the node from being listed as a valid node and prevent connection.

I assume you are talking about allstar nodes vs individual users via the web transceiver...

Hi Group,

I’m convinced I’ve seen talk of this before, but having trawled the archives, I’m darned if I can find it.

Is there a method of blocking specific AllStar nodes from connecting? I know we’re all friends here and wouldn’t dream of being unpleasant to each other, but there are occasions when it may be necessary to temporarily stop another node from linking. How would this be achieved?

Thanks

David
