Need help with CGI:IRC

Rate this Message:
Hi guys...
I recently had the idea of putting up our favorite hockey team's channel on IRC on the Internet, in the hopes of having more people show up and hang with us during games, etc. I have installed and done everything properly, however, when people connect to IRC using the site (which is PensChat.com), everyone on there has the exact same host. Thus, if any trolls or dummies sign up and try to spam the channel, there would be no way for me to ban them from the channel without banning everyone else who logs on through the site. If you log in through this site - http://webchat.xs4all.nl/ - the host for each person is different (I think the IP address is encoded). This is what I want for PensChat.com. Also, I would like to be able to customize the log in page on PensChat.com (where people type their nick), but that's not as important right now. I have gone through the advanced settings page on the CGI:IRC site, but I can't figure out how to do it.
I don't know what most of that means. I don't know where the /usr/local/sbin directory is supposed to be. I don't know where the path to perl is. Same for /etc/inetd.conf... I'm completely lost. I'm very new to most of this, but since I've already done so many things for the site and would really like to set this up, I want to finish the site so it can work for years to come. If anyone can help me out, I would really appreciate it. Just e-mail me back or reply through the mailing list. Or you can IM me through Yahoo (my username is ivand67), or MSN (ivand67@...).

Try experimenting with different values of encoded_ip in your cgiirc.config: # encoded_ip, set to 3 to send real IP in realname and encoded in username # set to 2 to send hex encoded IP address in username # and in realname, set to 1 to send only in realname and 0 to # disable. encoded_ip = 3 -- Jim Tittsler http://www.OnJapan.net/ GPG: 0x01159DB6 Python Starship http://Starship.Python.net/crew/jwt/ Mailman IRC irc://irc.freenode.net/#mailman ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.

Okay, I'm just going to ask here, hopefully it is allowed. Does anyone have an open CGI:IRC available? I have been unable to find a web hosting company that would allow CGI:IRC to be used. I only use it for personal use. The one I had been using is an extremely old version.
Thanks,
-Travis T.

Hi Jim...
Thanks for the suggestion. I had already tried that, and unfortunately it doesn't work, because it doesn't change the user's host. The /whois for the user now is: PensC0701 is ivand87@... * [467987bc] PensChat.com PensC0701 on #penschatdotcomtest PensC0701 using irc.shoutcast.com HELLO WORLD PensC0701 actually using host 208.113.192.21 PensC0701 End of /WHOIS list. The ivand87@... is the user's address. And that IP address (208.113.192.21) is not MY address, so it must be my web host's (meaning anyone who signs on through the site would get that same address). The part after the asterisk ([467987bc] PensChat.com) is just the username, which you can't ban (that's what changed when I set "encoded_ip = 2"). So, the host didn't change doing this. I think I have to do what I quoted from the advanced settings page... Thanks again Jim. Ivan On Mon, Apr 21, 2008 at 4:47 PM, Jim Tittsler <jt@...> wrote:

You didn't tell us what ivand87's IP address was, but are you sure it wasn't 70.121.135.188? (That is what 467987bc is telling you with encoded_ip=2. It is even more obvious set to 3 as I suggested.) If you want to ban then from using the cgiirc server, you certainly can use that IP address in your cgiirc "ipaccess" file. If you want to ban them at the remote IRC daemon from using that server or a particular channel on that server, you are right you will have to make it a function of the user name because the IP address at the irc daemon will always look like your web server (208.113.192.21). > So, the host didn't change doing this.

I don't think so, the bit you quoted was about identd... and many hosts no longer run it (or at least no longer allow access outside of the LAN).

But identd.pl IS what he needs then?
But it requires root access to the machine with CGI:IRC and that there runs no other ident daemon on the machine. The result will be <nick>!<encoded user host as ident>@<penschat webserver host/ip>. It will then be possible to ban a user on ident@webserver-host. It will not work very well if an abusing user is using a dynamic IP that changes often, as the users ident will change along with the IP change.
