In fact, this is the only thing the policy.c patches actually do unless the udp/ directory is populated by the metaserver owner. (In every function in policy.c, if the udp/ directory is not present, the function does nothing, bar one, which is policy_show() at the end of the source file. It contains a blockage to showing UDP-reported servers if the information is older than 600 seconds.) > Without the patch, I am powerless to delist the servers, removing the > metaservers file and shutting down server still has it listed. Indeed, that was the intention of the original UDP design several years ago ... better to err on the side of listing an old server than provide a means by which the listing could be destroyed by an attack of some sort. -- James Cameron mailto:quozl at us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/
