Best bet might to be use gdb to step through the ban code.

Because the Smaug ban code is a pile of crap and really needs to be tossed out and redone. I've had spotty performance from banning in the few cases it's been necessary. Sometimes they stick. Sometimes they don't. The DNS resolution doesn't quite work out. Always some little thing. And the code is just a big fat mess to try and maintain.

Your site has been banned from this Mud.

Worked like it should have for now at least lol.

Yes, but Remcon, the issue is if you ban by name, banning by IP should work because it's not having to resolve the IP to determine the IP. :sad:

You can't ban by name, unless you wait until the name is resolved before checking for a ban.

I guess that's why some muds output "Making a dns lookup, please wait" if you type your name too fast on login.

well from what i can tell the character is just creating before their dns can be looked up, otherwise the dns wouldn't be showing up in my login history, it would simply be an ip address. so i'm just gonna add check_ban to more than one part of the nanny function and also in my update handler, that should at least solve my problem of keeping people banned.
