So here i am perusing my logs when i see L 02/02/2009 - 20:25:28: "EricS<114><STEAM_0:1:10><>" disconnected (reason "You have been banned by this server, check http://www.doublezen.net/ for more info")
wait, what? No ban matches that steamID. So i dig into the SourceBans module, and find this: SELECT bid FROM %s_bans WHERE ((type = 0 AND authid REGEXP 'STEAM_[0-9]:%s') OR (type = 1 AND ip = '%s')) AND (length = '0' OR ends > UNIX_TIMESTAMP()) AND RemoveType IS NULL What that means, is if 1234 is banned, so is 123, 12, and 1. Since Valve has a lot of really short steam IDs, this means that any sizable database will return matches against them. To fix this, if you run SourceBans, change line 774 to: SELECT bid FROM %s_bans WHERE ((type = 0 AND authid REGEXP '^STEAM_[0-9]:%s$') OR (type = 1 AND ip = '%s')) AND (length = '0' OR ends > UNIX_TIMESTAMP()) AND RemoveType IS NULL IE add that nice ^ and $ there, so it only matches complete IDs. Recompile sourcebans.sp and install. I would like to apologize to EricS and invite him to play on the Nemu servers whenever he damn well pleases! - Neph _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
