Here is a patch which lightly modifies the +stopnethack behavior. During server-rejoins, 1.3.20 doesn't deop +o flag users at all. As this could be dangerous (for IP-spoof reasons), 1.3.21 doesn't check for +o flag but for wasop. If your ops got lost in the netsplit (because of too long split), then you gonna have huge massdeops at the netrejoin. This is a normal behavior as the eggdrop forgets the wasop-information after wait-split. Nevertheless, when such a massdeop occurs, you can loose @ on your channel. So, this patch is a kind of mix, or at least it gives you the possibility to choose between a 1.3.20-like behavior and a 1.3.21 one. More exactly, if you chanset -dontdeopops, then the behavior is the normal 1.3.21 one. But if you chanset +dontdeopops, then it gonna add a +o flag test to the +stopnethack routine. That means, that with +dontdeopops the eggdrop won't deop +o flag users during netrejoins (like in 1.3.20). This way you can choose between a "no-risk-IP-spoof" method and a "no-risk-mass-deop-my-ops" method. None of them is perfect, but at least you got the choice. This patch can be applied on 1.3.21 version. Please send feed back to arthur2@demoniak.hay-france.com arthur2
