You mention "packages"--did you download the source and compile it, or are you relying on a distribution package? If the latter, you might want to check with the packager to make sure they haven't made any changes. Also, in either case, make certain that you're using ircu from Undernet; I think that there's at least one other package out there that calls itself ircu, but which has diverged from Undernet ircu long ago. You mention that you've got multiple users from the same machine connecting to the IRC server. You might want to check the "maxlinks" clause of your "client" blocks, as well as your "class" blocks; the "maxlinks" clause in "client" blocks allows restrictions to be applied on the number of clients originating from a given IP address (to limit the number of clones a user can load). (This is as opposed to the "maxlinks" clause of "class" blocks, which restricts the total number of connections across all "client" blocks (and auto-connections of "server" blocks).) Another thing to check is the IPCHECK_CLONE_* feature settings. We don't currently have a way to turn off IPcheck, but you can raise the values of those feature settings from their defaults to make it less likely that you'll accidentally trip the detection. (IPcheck is intended to catch abusers that make several connections from the same host within a short period of time. I believe that it doesn't usually trip until 4 connections have been received, but I've not personally examined that code, and we have had a fair amount of difficulty with it in the past.) (Search for IPCHECK_CLONE_* in doc/readme.features; those settings go in the "features" block of your ircd.conf.) -- Kevin L. Mitchell <klmi...@mit.edu>
