  34 <PRE>Hi,
  35
  36 and if 99.9% is still not enough, you could still change the IRC
  37 protocol in your IRC server to make it incompatible with rfc compliant
  38 IRC clients :-)
  39 Simply change the /USER command in Unreal to something else as well as
  40 in your Java applet (one line to change for each). This will probably
  41 keep 99.999% of other IRC clients away from your server ;-)

  55 I have an easier suggestion, again it will stop about 99.9% of users who
  56 do not connect using the java...  Simply have the Java applet assign a
  57 unique (non-word) ident to every user (same ident for everyone) -- most
  58 java applets assign this anyhow.  then in your server(s) put in an I
  59 line (I think it's &quot;I&quot; -- the one that specifies who's allow to
  60 connect).  The I line will allow *javaident@*  which my definition will
  61 block everyone who doesnt have the special ident.  A few really creative
  62 people may figure out the ident, and if you see a lot of that, then
  63 change the java ident again and change your I line to reflect that.

  74 Thank Andrew, the password it's a good idea, that's all I need ;-)

  77 &gt;<i>Hi!, the first of one thanks for ircservices, i'm very pleasured with
  78 </I>&gt;<i>it. I'm using IRCservices with Unreal irc server with a java applet
  79 </I>&gt;<i>client. I need to forbib connetions from other clients like mirc, etc.
  80 </I>I
  81 &gt;<i>only want to allow conections from my java applet client. Is it
  82 </I>&gt;<i>possible?=20
  83 </I>
  84      This is more of an IRC server issue; depending on how the applet is
  85 designed, you should be able to configure your IRC server to, for
  86 example,
  87 only allow connections with a password and have your applet send that
  88 password when connecting (though of course this is not very secure if
  89 someone decides to e.g. monitor the network traffic).  To do this with
  90 Services would require writing a module that sent CTCP VERSION (or some
  91 other way to check whether the client is your applet or another program)
  92 and killed users using a different client, and again this would still be
  93 susceptible to users forging the CTCP VERSION reply.
  94
  95      In general, there's no foolproof way to do what you're asking, but
  96 either of the above methods will probably block 99.9% of users, which is
  97 probably good enough.
