Hello hosts.

Some of you will know there have been some hackers recently joining with no user ID and no user name, who could not be kicked or banned.

This issue has been discussed here : http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=48690

I have tried to prevent this, with a special update for the dedicated host.

Download : link removed - a new version is available : http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=50108

Online it appears just like a normal Z host, so the hackers do not know if you have the new or old host.

It should not allow anyone to connect with a zero user ID or no user name.

Please let me know if you install this on your host and still see the same problem.

Lovely work Scawen

1st post btw :P

Thanks!
This should be perfect

I have tested this patch on a DEMO host, so far so good, its worth trying. I have yet to see if anyone can get past it.

Thanks Scawen for the fix!

Cq servers patched. Thank You We never had those problems on our servers but you never know :P

Thanks for the updates Scawen

Appreciate the swift update, thanks

I had this weird thing - The dedicated was spamming the window with messages - "Avoiding buffer crash (OK)" and "New guest timed out". So far those messages don't appear. Thanks a lot for this update . And big thanks to Victor, who gave me the link(after I lost it).

Thank you for the test.

We are now moving onto a version which is actually named Z2.
