[mohaa] Banning with iptables

[Andrew H]

John,

Before I used linux and I ran it on windows. I just used a program like 
AutoKick, ServerWatch, or Counter Intelligence. Unfortunatly I beleive 
none of those word under linux, I tried a few on wine the other day with 
little success. I also don't know any linux alternatives. Hopefully 
someone else can help you out more than I can.

Best of Luck,
Andrew
