[Added] Host.Rules not being read on rehash

fobban · 10-24-2003, 07:33 AM

I was playing around with Host.Rules and banning myself.. just to make sure it worked so i added these 2 lines in it:
DENY I 127.0.0.1 "blahblah"
DENY I localhost "blahblah"

and first i tried to connect without a rehash, and i was able to log in. After that i rehashed the daemon but i was still able to log in.
So finally i restarted the daemon and "finally" i got banned

So it seems like it is a "bug" there somewhere since not even rehash did the trick.

I think it's by design. Hosts.rules is checked on startup (just like ioftpd.env).

That's expected.
ioftpd cache the file at startp only. rehash doesn't do.
Same for ioftpd.env and Scheduler settings in the ini.

so if i wanna ban someone i'll add his ip and then i have to restart the daemon to get him banned.. sounds weird to me :|
