Ban server block
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
This block disables a server's ability to connect to the network. If the server links directly to your server, the link is denied. If the server links to a remote server, the local server will disconnect from the network.
Syntax
ban server {
mask <server-name>;
reason <reason-for-ban>;
}
The ban::mask field specifies a wildcard mask to match against the server attempting to connect's name, and ban::reason specifies the reason for which this ban has been placed.
Example
ban server {
mask broken.server.my.network.com;
reason "Its broken!";
}
