This computer is under my desk next to my mac. I use my mac more because I like art. It has a connection to the internet most of the time but everyonce in a while it gets disconnected from my ISP (Not nearly as much as when I was on AOL though!) Also sometimes my mom hits the plug with the vaccum and I have to plug it back in but it's been almost a month since that last happened. 3. Machine Info 3a. Processor: Dual PII 266 3b.

Describe how ICMP unreachables and redirects are filtered: I tried to install BlackICE on it but it didn't work. so currently there is no stuff like that. I dont have a router. 3f.

Person resposible for compiling and upgrading ircd: Fenton E Ipswitch iRcMaStEr 5. Bot and Abuse Policies Please detail your policies on Bots and Abusive users, and how you plan to implement these policies: I dont allow bots on my server because they take my channels and i can only have like maybe 100 clients on my server at any given time so bots would just be taking up chat space! As far as spam it annoys me and when I figure out how to k-line effectively, I'll do it to them. 6. Initial Opers Please list by name and common irc nicks the people who will have global O: lines on you server when it goes online: Me, Fenton E Ipswitch iRcMaStEr Darryl Cornschwagger pcktG0D 7. The Essay Question How will EFnet benefit from your server being linked? Well, i'll be the first to admit that my server isn't top of the line and that some of the servers they think they are cool because they have over 100MB of ram might vote against me. But I can offer this. *AS OF NOW* my server isn't hacked unlike most current efnet servers. I think I can provide a server to efnet that won't be abused to reset TS for at least a week, maybe two if redhat's page stays up to date. But I can't garauntee anything after that (Basic linux/network security blows my mind) 8. Traceroutes Please include the output of traceroutes to the following sites. Note that many EFnet servers filter ICMP packets. Run the traceroutes as far as you can and make a note that they stopped before reaching the destination. I dunno how to do this in linux. a) irc.best.net b) ircd.concentric.net c) ircd.lightning.net d) irc.east.gblx.net e) irc.west.gblx.net f) irc.exodus.net 9) Who is your closest EFnet Hub admin ? (server name and administrative contact) I like to use irc.west.gblx.net a lot so I guess that's close.
