[cod] banning people.

[James Landi]

Yes, this was the best way to ban someone in the old MOH days, and works
wonderfully if you have root access.

There most certainly is. . . you could always dead route or have that person
dead routed by your isp:

Syntax to do this in linux:

/sbin/route add x.x.x.x gw 127.0.0.1

We are setting a route so that all network traffic from that host goes to
localhost, and since cod does not listen on localhost traffic will not get
routed to him, effectivly banning him.

However if he has a dynamic ip like most dsl accounts, he can simply
reconnect, and away he is playing on your server again. If someone really,
really, really wants to get on your server no method of banning will help
much. So you have to take a much diffrent aproach to banning, and getting
rid of someone you don't want playing on your server. This is something that
can not be taught or explained, and requires alot of patiants at times, but
it's funner, and keeps you interested in the game rather than getting pissed
at some dimwit.

Respectivly Submitted,
Matt
