Passive user check
Just wondering, is there an easy way to check wether a user is active or passive when they join? I thought maybe just catching the $MyInfo's and processing them, but that won't catch NMDC users or tag hiders.
send a RevConnectToMe
if they reply with a connecttome, they're active
nmdc doesn't reply
and dc++ replies with a revconnecttome

good point. I'll just treat it as a passive user then I suppose. Its not going to kick them or anything, i'm just trying to get as many passive users into active as possible. Most of the passive users in my hub haven't even attempted to go into active, so I wanted to give them some annoying nudges in the right direction.

I like that ivulfusbar, you could pop up a message explaining how to configure Active through a firewall, maybe just on first use or something.
I'd say if you have a firewall you should be in active, only if you don't have a firewall is passive really much use.
Then again lots of ppl still seem to think that Passive is needed if you have a firewall so at least it would inform them

Thats the whole idea, not many people have ever bothered trying active, cos when they first try dc++ everyone tells them it doesn't work cos you are in active, and to switch to passive.
I'm just trying to nudge them all back into trying out active again. Esp since I am using the $userip, and giving ppl a client that supports it. Its only a matter of getting them to configure their port.
