| ===== Masks in practice ===== | ===== Masks in practice ===== |
| For example, my user@host string is Krobar!krobar@kro.bar, but if I added myself to the userlist that way and I didn't use the nickname Krobar one day, I wouldn't be recognized. On the flip side, if I added myself as *!*@*, then everyone would match. A typical mask is *!*UserID@*.Host This way any nickname used, from any machine in the domain is matched. The * in front of a UserID is usually a good idea, because some servers will add a ~ in front if identd (a nameserver of sorts) isn't working or is too slow. I typically add myself as *!*krobar@kro.bar | For example, my user@host string is Krobar!krobar@kro.bar, but if I added myself to the userlist that way and I didn't use the nickname Krobar one day, I wouldn't be recognized.
