Thu Nov 24 12:30:15 GMT 2022

It was IPv6 related, forced on v4 with git pull -4 and everything went fine.

sysop at cluster:/spider$ git pull -v

Looking up scm.dxcluster.org ... done.

Connecting to scm.dxcluster.org (port 9418) ... ^C

It hangs there… Am I the only one?

Yes, build 448 is the latest.
The capture is the response to the sh/ver all command

Both GB7MBC and G4ELI-9 were updated first thing this morning, or is 448 not the latest?

In the light of some nastiness that seems increasingly to happen during major contests, and after several requests, I have revamped the "BadWords" system to be all "regex" based (a.k.a badw_regex) and done away with both the badword and badw_regex files. These have been replaced with a file called badword.new which now contains a simple list of  "words", some of which are instantly recognisable and others which look misspelled - as they don't seem to have enough consonants. They are what I call word "stems". 

This file is interesting, but is not (normally) sysop maintained. It is maintained and generated by the set/badword and unset/badword commands which will take words that you think are bad; which add or remove them from the system. You can list the current ones with show/badwords. There is a default list of words that is installed by the update automatically. 

Internally these word "stems" are converted in perl regexes which will match this sort of thing:

So the stem "SOD" regex looks like: 

SOD = \bS+[\s\W]*[O0]+[\s\W]*D

This will match: sod SOD s0D sods Sodding s0dd1nnnng etc

Another example might be:

TERORIST = \bT+[\s\W]*E+[\s\W]*R+[\s\W]*[O0]+[\s\W]*R+[\s\W]*[I1]+[\s\W]*S+[\s\W]*T

This will obviously match the very bad spelled 'terorist', but also: TERRORIST terr0r1st 'TeeeErro0r 11ii1sts' etc.

***

It would be good to get as many sysops to update ASAP (i.e. before the weekend) as this will cut down on the distribution of some quite offensive (mainly Spanish at the moment) entirely made up spots. 

***

There is (English) help available for the {set,unset,show}/badword commands. There are also some remarks worth reading in the Changes file. The command 'load/badword' still does what always did, but you should not need to use it any more. These commands are all sysop only and cannot be accessed remotely.

If a user "swears" then a message will appear in the debug file which can be tracked with 'watchdbg swore'. By default, if a user uses three swear words they are automatically disconnected. This count persists during the whole session, so a user can use them up by using three (different) bad words in one announce command or use the same (or different) one over three commands minutes or hours apart over a session. This limit can be changed with a 'set/var $DXCommandmode::maxbadcount = <number>' command at runtime or in the startup file. This limit only affects locally connected users. Incoming PC protocol that trigger a badword are just dropped. 

As far as a locally connected user is concerned, it appears as though the offending commands have worked, in that they appear on their screen. Well, at least until they use too many and are logged out.

If you are a sneaky sort of sysop you can set maxbadcount to 0, which will not log the user out, thus giving the impression that all is fine - but nothing is sent out to other locally connected users or nodes.

Enjoy.

PS This is the first on my list of fixes / enhancements, so there will be further updates for other known issues over the next few weeks.
